syncronization and Time stamp extraction

Part Number: MMWCAS-DSP-EVM

Hi Kaushik! sorry for the delay

1. I reviewed the docs in the SDK proccessor, I found several demos of data capture. How can I use those demos to sync between another systems? does those codes can use as the host?

3. I think you didnt understand my purpose so i'll try to explain in different way:

In other systems when I extract the timestamp I can see a Epoch & UNIX format, and I know how to translate it to 'date-time' format (for example: timestamp 1686563140, that his translation is: Monday, June 12, 2023 9:45:40 AM). But in the mmwcas radar the timestamp that we extracted is in a format that we cant find the translition of it (we are sure that this is the timestamp because the is a difference of 50ms between the samples. We want tto know if there is a way to know the timestamp translation of the mmwcas?

  • Hi Nir,

    1. You can change the source code in the demo to control when the sensor is triggered. The same signal can be used as a trigger on another system as well. This signal can be GPIO based etc.
    2. The support on this is limited as of now. Having said that, I do not believe that the time stamp is expressed in a general global time format as you think. To my knowledge, it's a number that is relative to when the timer would have started on the DSP system and cannot be decoded as you might expect.

  • OK! great! thank you for your help
