AWR6843AOPEVM: Is magnitude intensity of target available on Saved Data from mmWave Visualizer?

Part Number: AWR6843AOPEVM

I'm working on parsing the saved .dat file from the online mmWave visualizer. I've been able to parse and get a CSV file with a variety of fields. However target magnitude is not one of them. Is this available as a saved field from the online mmWave Visualizer? I've read all the data from the SDK on the output at ti\mmwave_sdk_03_05_00_04\packages\ti\demo\xwr68xx. 

Is the magnitude or log intensity available in the .dat file saved from the mmWave demo or is this only available when using the DCA1000 board?

thank you,

Peter

  • Hi Peter,

    Looking at the following function in the Out of Box demo project (<MMWAVE_SDK_INSTALL_PATH>\labs\out_of_box_demo\68xx_aop_mmwave_sdk_hwa\src) in Code Composer Studio for awb you can see what is the processed data and it does not seem like target magnitude is an output. 

     

    Please see the following files to better understand more of the out of box demo output data structure.
