AWR1642BOOST: Transforming x,y,z,v hex value to floating point value using IEEE-754 standard does not yield the same outcome as demo visualizer plot

robert Low

Part Number: AWR1642BOOST

The scripts(mmw_demo_example_script.py and parser_mmw_demo.py) are obtained from C:\ti\mmwave_sdk_03_06_00_00-LTS\packages\ti\demo\parser_scripts\, don't see any clear link between the x,y,z,v and compDetectedRange value parsed by script and demo visualizer plot. The value either yield in E+37 or E-37 range after converted from hex to IEEE-754 floating points. Can you guide me on this with the raw data I provided?

Hi,

Unfortunately the team that developed the SDK 3.6 is no longer available for support.

That's being said, I think our support team should be able to provide some help.

First, with AWR1642BOOST , there is no (z) elevation information. Only (x,y) are provided.

Second, the x,y information is sent to the PC Host in fractional Q format.

Unfortunately the person that can help with the Q format in not available until next week.

Will get back to you next week

thank you

Cesar
