AWR6843: Logging Raw ADC data for OOB demo via ADC Data Capture Tool DCA1000 CLI

Part Number: AWR6843
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MMWAVE-SDK

Tool/software:

Hello, 

        I'm logging Raw ADC data for OOB demo/mmwave demo available at radar_box_1_30_01_03/2_10_00_04, i'm able to record the data and bin file is generated while i'm using C:\ti\radar_toolbox_1_30_01_03\tools\Adc_Data_Capture_Tool_DCA1000_CLI\chirp_configs\ "Xwr6843_inCabinSensing.cfg" file. However i want to edit those chirp config for my requirements. I'm just changing the profilecfg,chirpcfg and framecfg parameters. When i did change its not working. So i just tried changing only 1 parameter of profilecfg to test whether it works, But nothing seems to work. As Soon i change 1 value in config file. It stops working. application itself is not being started. i see Error: -1 after the sensorStart is sent. Please let me know can we edit the config file. if yes, guide me with how can that be done. Thanks

profileCfg 0 60.00 205 11 41 0 0 97.00 1 64 2200 0 0 36

  • Hi Madhusudhan,
    This capture tool is not as flexible as the radar studio, because it has the same limitation in the MMWAVE-SDK OOB demo. For example, the MMWAVE-SDK OOB demo does not support CW signal, does not support multiple profiles, does not support radar cube sizes larger than 768Kbytes and etc. Please also ensure you are giving a valid configuration when you change chirp/frame configurations.

    Thanks and Regards,
