Hi,

I don't understand what does offers the setup IWR6843ISK+DCA1000EVM+ICBOOST offers compared to the setup IWR6843ISK+DCA1000EVM?

Thanks in advance

    Hello,

    First, I apologize for the delay. I had issues with our system after changing my email.

    The only reason to add the ICBOOST to the stack would be if you need the high level debug features enabled by the ICBOOST. If you simply want the raw data, there is no difference between including or excluding the ICBOOST.

    Hi,

    Sorry for this delay.

    I come back to you about the same topic.

    With the IWR6843ISK+DCA1000EVM+ICBOOST, is it possible to run the vital sign lab and capture the raw datas?

    If not, could you suggest me a setup to get it?

    Thanks in advance

    kind regards

    Hello,

    I think you are misunderstanding the meaning of "raw data"; it is a confusing terminology. By "raw data" we mean raw "ADC data", meaning that it is the data directly off of the radar front-end, before any processing has occurred. Thus, "running the vital signs lab and capturing the raw data" does not make sense because the vital signs lab is built in the application space: it takes the raw ADC data, processes it on-chip, then we output the processed data over UART (or any other peripheral on the device). 

    Do you want to capture unprocessed data, or the data after vital-signs processing?

    Regards,
    Luke

    Hi,

    I understand your explanation adn I agree with that. So, I would like to capture the unprocessed data (raw data) and data after processing simultaneously. How can I do that?

    Thanks

    In that case, I would recommend: IWR6843ISK (or you could use the AOP) + DCA1000EVM. You do not need the ICBOOST to capture raw data; however, you will need the ICBOOST if you intend to debug/step through application code on the device. This will allow you to capture raw data.

    Give me a minute to look into capturing ADC data and processed data simultaneously.

    Regards,
    Luke

    Hello,

    There is not any examples currently demonstrating a way to record both ADC data and processed data. The Out of the Box Demo supports LVDS ADC data streaming, but you will have to investigate it further, then you can look to implement vital signs on top of the Out of the Box. But we do not currently provide an example of vital signs with both data capture modes simultaneously functioning.
