Hi TI

There's a request that Customer wants to clarify.

They want to save the Sensor output data from PC side. And then parse the packet by themselves.

Could you please let us know how to save output data into filesystem on PC side?

I'd appreciate if you provide us with explanation based on 3D People Counting Lab.

I am able to import xWR6843 porjects of industrial toolkit, then build binary in CCS without compilation error.

Thanks.

Regards,

Jack

Hi Jack,

Thanks for reaching out.

Please see the following snippet from the people counting lab in the resource explorer in the industrial toolbox.

Saving the Output

The output data from the mmWave sensor can be saved for future use in 2 ways: as a binary bitstream of the UART data, and as a csv file of the frame headers and TLVs.

To save either of these files, in oob_parser.py, set self.saveBinary and/or self.saveTextFile equal to 1, save the file, then run start the gui as described above. The output data will be recorded relative to the mmWave sensor, not rotated for world coordinates as the display is.

Thanks,

Alex Chan
