AWR1843AOPEVM: Automated Parking 18xx(Launch the Visualizer error)

Part Number: AWR1843AOPEVM
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: UNIFLASH, IWR6843AOPEVM, AWR1843BOOST

I proceeded by referring to the Automated Parking 18xx Users Guide.

The board used is AWR1843AOPEVM (Standalone).

The board switch is set as shown in the figure below.

MATLAB Runtime 2017a (9.2) was installed.

Flash the EVM unsing Uniflash also proceeded with parking_18xx_demo_aop.bin.

Open a DOS cmd window in the gui directory and call the visualizer exe as follows (example below for AOP)

mmw_demo_parking_xyz.exe xwr18xx 23 20 4 22 profile_parking_mimo_2d_50m_3d_10m_aop.cfg 1

My Enhanced COM Port is 22, Standard COM Port is 23.

The picture below is attached.

Below is the result of executing in DOS cmd.

At the end, you can see that an error occurred. When checked in Matlab, it was confirmed that data was not transmitted from the Standard COM Port.

Is there something I'm setting up wrong?

-------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------
I have an additional question.
1. Level Sensing (for distance measurement) was performed with IWR6843AOPEVM, and I am changing to AWR1843AOPEVM for longer distance measurement and better resolution. However, I couldn't find the source code for Level Sensing with AWR1843AOPEVM. Can you recommend an Example Project for measuring distance with the AWR1843AOPEVM?
