DCA1000EVM: DCA1000 - Start data capture without mmwave studio

Part Number: DCA1000EVM
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AWR6843AOP,

Hello

I am trying to integrate DCA1000 ,mmwavBOOST and AWR6843AOP to matlab where UDP packets will be received by matlab and process further (raw data). 

I am able to configure DAC1000 and radar. I tried with DAC1000CLI application (without mmwave studio) . But during the start recording (

DCA1000EVM_CLI_Control.exe start_record) , the port 4098 is binding to DCA1000CLI application and Matlab is not able to bind the port. So my question here
1. Is  any other than this DCA1000CLI and mmwave studio any other way to start data capture in DCA1000 (other than hardware configuration and LUA scrip approach) .
2. I know that we can customise DCA1000CLI.exe for our need. But I require a available solution without any modification in current software.
3. Can I control the data capture of DCA1000 using matlab using any commands or serial communication ?

  • Hello Resmi,

    Are you trying to stream DCA1000 data straight into MATLAB during run time? If so then this is not possible, you will need to record a session, convert the the bin data to a .m file using scripts that can be found using google, then use MATLAB as a sort of playback system in order to work with the data. As far as alternatives go you can send raw data over LVDS but that is completely different and the way one starts DCA1000 is via LUA scripts as stated.

    Best Regards,
