Hi team,
Here's an issue from the customer may need your help:
Based on mmWave_studio_user_guide, C:\ti\mmwave_studio_02_01_01_00\mmWaveStudio\RunTime\mmWaveStudio.exe /lua C:\ti\mmwave_studio_02_01_01_00\mmWaveStudio\Scripts\Automation.lua this instruction enables launching mmWave studio and collecting data automatically in cmd. However, the script automatically disconnects and exits studio once the data has been captured.
So the customer has split Automation.lua into two parts, the first lua script (setup.lua) is to initialize studio and the second lua script (start.lua) is to start collecting data.(the instruction is C:\ti\mmwave_studio_02_01_01_00\mmWaveStudio\RunTime>mmWaveStudio.exe /lua C:\ti\mmwave_studio_02_01_01_00\mmWaveStudio\Scripts\setup.lua)
When the first script is executed with cmd, try executing the second script through cmd instead of using run in studio. If use the same instructions above, it will get an error stating that studio has been opened.
How to execute a second lua script with cmd instead of run with mmWave studio already open?
The following is setup.lua, and the customer notes the capture data, disconnect and close functions:

The following is start.lua, which retains the ability to acquire data only:
--Start Record ADC data ar1.CaptureCardConfig_StartRecord(adc_data_path, 1) RSTD.Sleep(1000) --Trigger frame ar1.StartFrame() RSTD.Sleep(5000)
Could you help check this case? Thanks.

Hello Cherry,
Let me check if the following the customer tries is possible or not.

Hello Cherry,
So the customer lua scripts are opening 2 different instances of the mm wave studio. I don't think it's possible to run both instances together.

Hello Cherry,
Also why is the user providing:
------------------------- Close the Connection ---------------------------------
-- SPI disconnect
--ar1.PowerOff()
-- RS232 disconnect
--ar1.Disconnect()
------------------------- Exit MMwave Studio GUI -----------------------------------
--os.exit()
-- end
