IWR6843AOPEVM: Miss match between Vital signs documents and configurations

Part Number: IWR6843AOPEVM

Tool/software:

Hi everyone,

I noticed a discrepancy between the recommendations in the Vital Signs with People Tracking User Guide and the configuration in the chirp_configs folder for this application.

The User Guide recommends that the NearY value from staticBoundaryBox should be greater than or equal to 2. Moreover, the release notes for this application mention an improvement allowing NearY to be 1 or greater.

Despite this, the configuration for this application does not follow the "greater than or equal to 2" recommendation. Here’s the relevant part of the code:

Note that: staticBoundaryBox [-X] [X] [NearY] [FarY] [-Z] [Z]

trackingCfg 1 2 800 1 46 96 90
presenceBoundaryBox -1.5 1.5 0.3 1.75 0 3
maxAcceleration 0.1 0.1 0.1

Industrial Toolbox version: 4.12.1
Could someone check if this is a missed update in the configuration file or if I am misunderstanding something? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Best regards,
Khanh

  • Hello we are looking into this and will need a few days to provide a response; thank you for your patience.

  • Hi

    staticBoundaryBox only determines the area where a track is expected to be stationary. As long as the track is confined within this region you will not see any difference in the behaviour. This CLI does not affect the functioning of the demo but only determines where the likely presence of track 

    You can use the latest demo from radar tool box. You can find the demo in radar tool box at the following location
