AWR1642BOOST: DCA1000 data (.bin file) contents

Part Number: AWR1642BOOST
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DCA1000EVM,

Hi,

This is a related question to the previous one. (see above link)
The customer is trying to capture data using AWR1642BOOST and DCA1000EVM.
He refers to below training video.
https://training.ti.com/dca1000-training-video

Now he was able to dump the data in .bin file. (please refer slide#15)
mmwave_sensor_raw_data_capture_using_dca1000_v02.pdf
He wants to understand how .bin file contents should be interpreted.
Do we have any document which describes about it?
(for example, which value shows distance data, etc.)

Thanks and regards,
Koichiro Tashiro

  • HI Koichiro,

    The .bin data captured obtained by the DCA1000 will only have the raw ADC data, the format of which can be found in Slide 18 of the document you have referred to. To obtain information such as distance, velocity...etc you will have to do further processing on this ADC data on your host PC.

    Regards,
