DCA1000EVM: Decrease ethernet packet delay from 25us to 10us

Part Number: DCA1000EVM

Hi expert,

Customer want to reduce ethernet packet delay on DCA1000 to increase the throughput. They are using studio CLI tool and change the packetDelay_us to 10 in json file.

But we measured the packet delay is still 25us. Is there limit on the packet delay or we need to change other parameter?

Thank you.

Regards,

Allen 

  • Hello Allen,

    Could I get a screenshot on how the packet delay is being set within the JSON file?

  • Hello,

    Is this behavior seen as well when using mmWaveStudio and one of its default JSON scripts?

  • Hi Pedrhorm

    No, customer could not use GUI in their test system, it was thought the JSON file should work with mmwave studio GUI. Actually this JSON file attached is from the mmwave SDK and they just modified the packet delay.

  • Hello,

    Give me more time to look into this further
