IWR6843AOPEVM: Getting point cloud data from the raw data binary file using Matlab when using mmWave_Studio

Part Number: IWR6843AOPEVM
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DCA1000EVM,

Using DCA1000EVM with the IWR6843AOPEVM with mmWave_Studio. Can I use Matlab to harvest the raw data from the adc_data.bin created by mmWave_Studio? Is the point cloud data in there somewhere, so I don't have to use mmWave Demo Visualizer? If so, where is the detailed raw binary data description using this settup?

Hi, Larry:

MmWave Studio only captures ADC raw data, it does not contain any point cloud. You can use MATLAB to parse this binary data file and do any post processing as you want. The example of the parsing script can be found at https://www.ti.com/lit/an/swra581b/swra581b.pdf, section 9.2.

Best,

Zigang
