DCA1000EVM: Could configure step and raw data capture step be separated when launch the Lua script from the command line end?

Part Number: DCA1000EVM
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AWR1443BOOST

Hi team,

Now I have AWR1443BOOST and DCA1000EVM and they worked well when using Lua script (Automation.lua) to capture raw data. However, when I want to record multiple sets of data, I need to repeat launching the "Automation.lua" from the command line end, which means every new capture operation needs a new configure step. So is there any way to repeat capturing with only once configuring when I use the command line and Lua script ? Or is there any way to capture the raw data bypassing the mmwave studio so that I can control the raw data capturing in another environment (like Python). Looking forward to your replies.

Regards,

Zhenbin

Hi,

This is possible

For example

C:\ti\mmwave_studio_02_01_01_00\mmWaveStudio\Scripts\DataCaptureDemo_xWR.lua

In this script you just have to repeat the following commands with different file names and add a delay to allow for the capture time to complete

ADD A DELAY

--Start Record ADC data
ar1.CaptureCardConfig_StartRecord(adc_data_path1, 1)
RSTD.Sleep(1000)

--Trigger frame
ar1.StartFrame()
RSTD.Sleep(5000)

ADD A DELAY

--Start Record ADC data
ar1.CaptureCardConfig_StartRecord(adc_data_path2, 1)
RSTD.Sleep(1000)

--Trigger frame
ar1.StartFrame()
RSTD.Sleep(5000)

Hi Cesar,

This solution may not meet my current application requirement. Specifically, I want to control the trigger timing through scripts rather than mmwave studio after configuring so that it can work synchronously with other program. In fact, my issue is quite like the related question: https://e2e.ti.com/support/sensors-group/sensors/f/sensors-forum/1044552/awr2243-is-it-possible-to-launch-a-lua-script-via-the-command-line-to-mmwave-studio-once-the-gui-is-up-and-running . Hope that I explaned explictly my quesion.

Thanks,

Zhenbin

Hi Cesar,

The question can be closed now. My problem was solved by using the MatLab script in the mmWave Studio user guide. It works well. Sorry to remind you so late.

Thanks,
