Part Number: IWRL6432BOOST
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: IWRL6432

Hi,

I am using the IWRL6432 sensor board, and I have the following queries:

Is it possible to generate configuration files using mmWave Low Power Visualizer 5.2 (mmWave Radar Visualizer 5.2.0)?
- I am looking for a method to generate these files.
How can I access the source code of the low power visualizer (mmWave Radar Visualizer 5.2.0)?
- I require it to locate the equations used for calculating range profiler, range doppler, and other parameters.
Does the app use a single port(config port), or does it use both data and config port?
- In the app, it only asks to specify the config port.

Regards

Aditya

Yes you can use the mmwave Sensing Estimator

I require it to locate the equations used for calculating range profiler, range doppler, and other parameters.

You can inspect-element the webpage for this. Alternatively, you can find documentation on these parameters in the docs/ folder of the MMWAVE_L_SDK

Just one :).

Hi Nathan,
Thanks for the reply.

Can you provide the documentation or path to that mentioned for the 2nd query?

Also, I am using mmWave_Industrial_Visualizer for OOB example, but getting the following error(used SDK-5.2)
No data detected on COM Port, read timed out
Be sure that the device is in the proper mode, and that the cfg you are sending is valid

I can see the com port, also it is working with the OOB app.

Hi Aditya,

You can inspect element in a chrome tab by pushing ctrl-shift-c

For the industrial visualizer, please open a new thread for new issues. This helps us keep the pages organized for future users. You may copy+paste this query into a new post.

Best,

Nate

Hi,
In reference to the MotionPresenceDetectionDemo_TuningGuide.pdf under ti\MMWAVE_L_SDK_05_02_00_02\docs, I have some queries:

The chirp repetition period () is (idle1+idle2+2ramp) for two TX antennas (TX=2), where idle1 and idle2 are the idle times per chirp (see Figure 8) (Page-64)
How the Tidle1 and Tidle2 is defined in the config file?
Can you give the supportive mapping/calculation?

Tr calculation doesn't match here
