IWR1443BOOST: IWR1443BOOST

Part Number: IWR1443BOOST

Hi, 

I can see the real-time heart rate and breathing rate data by running the vitalSignsDemo_GUI.mlapp (in Matlab). The data could be saved in a binary file. How can I extract the heart rate plot from the binary file?

Is there any sample code for Matlab to extract the plots separately from the saved binary file?

Thanks, 

  • Hi,

    Can you please point me to the application you are using?

    Thanks

  • This is for comparing the heart rate plot from the mmWvave sensor to a reference ECG waveform from adhesive pads. 

  • Hi, 

    Can you let me know the link from where you found vitalSignsDemo_GUI.mlapp? Also, which lab design are you using?

    Regards,

    Abhishek

  • In the "Resource Explorer" from CCS: 1- go to mmWave radar sensors folder, then 2- go to Embedded Software. You can see the  the "Industrial Toolbox- 4-12.1". If NOT, form the "Package manager", add the "Industrial Toolbox- 4-12.1". 

    From there: choose: Labs >> Vital Signs >> 14xx Vital Signs >> Vital Signs xWR1443 Users Guide.pdf ---- has all the information on how  to start ... 

    GUI is located at the following address on my computer: 

                          \ti\mmwave_industrial_toolbox_4_12_1\labs\Vital_Signs\14xx_vital_signs\gui

    Please let me know if you need more information. 

    Thanks,

  • Hi Aref,

    Thanks for the link. You will not be able to record the breath rate and heart rate waveforms using the GUI. You will have to use UART based tools like tera term to send the cfg and collect the TLV sent by IWR1443BOOST. You need to decode the heart rate and breath rate TLV from the UART log

    You can refer to VitalSignsDemo_transmitProcessedOutput() function in main.c in mmwave_industrial_toolbox_4_12_1\labs\Vital_Signs\14xx_vital_signs\pjt 

    You can also try modifying vitalSigns_demo_gui.m to log the file

  • Hi, 

    Thanks for your response.

    For now, I am taking the real-time values directly from the MATLAB function and save them every 10 seconds. 

    I will try the UART log later and will post if I had any questions. 

    Thanks, 

    Aref
