IWR1843BOOST: How to get the FPS in tm_visualizer

Hello Asha,

The framerate is set by the CFG file. In that CFG config, you will see the framerate in the profileCfg command. This is documented in the SDK user's guide.

"C:\ti\mmwave_sdk_03_05_00_04\docs\mmwave_sdk_user_guide.pdf"

For a timestamp value, you can multiply the framerate by the frame number, or it will need to be added into the GUI if you wish for a non-relative timestamp.

Hi,

The profileCfg value is shown below, I have found  /cfs-file/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/1023/7801.mmwave_5F00_sdk_5F00_user_5F00_guide.pdf this link to the document. According to it I was not able to find which is the parameter in profileCfg that is responsible for FPS. 

profileCfg 0 77 8 7 28 0 0 20 1 256 12500 0 0 48

Is it 28 according to the profileCfg shown above?

Also can you explain a bit on how to get timestamp value with FPS? It is not clear to me

Thanks Jackson Thomas,

To make my understanding clear. 

frameCfg I used is 

frameCfg 0 1 64 0 50 1 0

Does this mean FPS in tm_visualizer data  is 50 ?

Also the elapsed time for frameNumber 2 is 2*50 = 100 milli seconds ?

Further, Is there a way to convert this elapsed time into UTC timestamp value ?

Hello,

Yes this is the way to do that. The sensor has no knowledge of world time, so you will need to add that timestamp into the GUI. You can either store the start time and elapsed time, or have the GUI record the real time whenever it records a frame.

Thank you Jackson Thomas it was really helpful. Really appreciate your support.

One quick question, does tm_visualizer provides any way to record the real time in GUI? If so how to set? ( Please suggest any tutorials/ documents if any)
