IWR6843ISK-ODS: Configurating mmWave Studio by .cfg that mmWave Demo Visualizer gives

Part Number: IWR6843ISK-ODS


Tool/software:

Hi!

I want to set up radar configuration in mmWave Studio 02.01.01.00 in accordance with .cfg file obtained from mmWave Demo Visualizer.

Could you reccomend me the way how to do it?

I see three possibilities to configurate mmWave Studio:

1. by means of .json file

2. by means of .xml file

3. by means of .lua file

 

But I do not know the simple way transformate .cfg to them.

Best regards,

Grigor Mardiyan

  • Hello Grigor,

    We have something in the works internally for translating a CFG to LUA, but currently there is no released tool for direct conversion from one form to another. My recommendation is between CFG and LUA, as the commands are more often than not directly comparable. For example: in the cfg there is profileCfg which is the main chirp design parameter. An example line could look like: 

    profileCfg 0 60 10.00 10.00 59.10 0 0 54.71 1 94 3000.00 1 0 36
    In mmWaveStudio LUA, it will be
    ar1.ProfileConfig(0, 60 , 10, 10, 59.10, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 54.71 , 1, 94, 3000, 1, 0, 36).
    Whenever you click a button in mmWaveStudio, within mmWaveStudio's output tab the corresponding LUA command set to that button will be printed. This allows you to see what command(s) are ran when a button is pressed, and using the naming philosophy and a reflective parameter's fields, can be corresponded to a CFG parameter. This is the process I recommend for now.
