Hi,
How to get the src code for the OOB demo visualizer(Low_power_visualizer_5.2.0.2) for mmwave-l-sdk for IWRL6432?

I need it, to get the plot equation for the range profile, power,x-y, and range graph.

Regards

Hi Aditya,

The source code can be found at: MMWAVE_L_SDK_05_02_00_02\examples\mmw_demo\motion_and_presence_detection

Tim

Hi,

I am unable to get the following information from the src code:

I parsed the range profile tlv, then how to use that data to get the plot as we see in OOB app
- I want to know the underlying equation to convert the tlv parsed data with some conversion factor for the plot
Info on azimuth and elevation resolution equation

Hi,

As mentioned in my response to your other post - please see the Industrial Visualizer in the radar toolbox to look at source code and how we parse the TLVs coming from the device.

Azimuth and elevation resolution is mostly a product of the antenna patterns on the device. Please see this document for more information:https://dev.ti.com/tirex/explore/node?a=1AslXXD__1.10.00.13&node=A__AB9Ek2o7Z7KxVGvvfm7HCA__radar_toolbox__1AslXXD__1.10.00.13

Hi
I saw the documentation for parsing the tlv, but was unable to find the equation for processing the TLV data to get the exact Range profile plot.

The below output comes from the app:

and this range profile plot I obtained from Matlab for the same config file, with the raw tlv parsed data.

I need the equation that is needed to make it exactly as that of the app results.

Hi,

Similar to my other response to your other thread - I would recommend basing your code off the Industrial Visualizer Code to correctly parse TLV's. You can see how the TLV's are manipulated in that source code for the major motion range profile.
