DCA1000EVM: How to explain FrameConfig in Post/Logfile.txt

Part Number: DCA1000EVM

Hi:

I use mmwave_studio to capture raw_data from DCA1000EVM.After postproc,there is a Logfile.txt as below.

How to explain the Frameconfig parameters in Logfile.txt

  • Hi,

    Please refer <mmwave studio installation>\docs\mmwave_studio_user_guide.pdf : section 'LUA shell'

    Click mmWave Studio GUI menu View -> LUA Shell in the mmWaveStudio main window. The LUA Shell window appears as follows:

    Now here give command 'help ar1.FrameConfig' which will list down explanation of each parameter for given API. Similar way you can provide any other APIs in this help command.

    Regards,

  • Hi,

    Thanks for your reply.

    According to help command,I found that fifth parameter means  'each frame repetition perioid in ms' and the seventh parameter means 'No. of chirps in a frame to skip for HSI streaming'

    It seems doesn't match the Logfile.I mean 'each frame repetation' is 10000000ms=10000s according to help command and Logfile.

  • Hi Yuan,

    The unit of frame periodicity here is us (microseconds) and not milliseconds. 

    Regards,
