Hello

Thank you so much for your help as always

Analyzing radar settings before starting a new project

When i get *.cfg file from visualizer

I have 4 questions

1. In setting parameters. i can see that

    'adcDataSource 0 C:/ti/mmwave_lp_sdk/examples/datapath/common/testBench/major_motion/adc_data_0001_CtestAdc6Ant.bin'

    What is adcDataSource??

2. Also, I see 

   'adcLogging 0'

   What is adcLogging?

3. When i read the 'Understanding UART Data Output Format' in resource explorer, i find a table

    At type Identifier 4 and 8, I think that I think the difference is between ODS and AOP modes.

    Is it right? 

    So, i will use AOA2D, i will take Azimuth/Elevation Static Heatmap

4. In sdk document, i can see 'guiMonitor' parameter

    There is not parameter about 'Azimuth/Elevation Static Heatmap' in sdk document.

    Also, When i check it in source code, i find annotation /* Range-Azimuth Heatmap (Major motion) */

    Which one is right parameter? 

Thanks

Regards

    Hi,

    adcDataSource command is used to effectively playback a previously captured ADC data file rather than using the radar front end to capture data live. This can be used for testing purposes.

    adcLogging enables to stream Raw ADC data over RDIF interface and by using DCA1000 EVM we can capture the ADC data. 

    Thank you for pointing out the lack of documentation regarding these commands. We will be updating this in the next SDK release.

    Sorry about any confusion caused here. These TLVs you are referring to here are part of the output of the Out-of-Box demo for the previous generation devices but are not currently included in the output of IWRL6432 demo. Azimuth static heatmap (type 4) is used for xWR6843ISK whereas Azimuth-Elevation static heatmap (type 8) is used for xWR6843ISK-ODS and xWR6843AOP. 

    Best Regards,

    Josh
