Hi,

What does the continuous chirping mode in dfeDataOutputMode in the profile config file mean?

Is there any documentation that explains the modes?

<modeType>
1 - frame based chirps
2 - continuous chirping
3 - advanced frame config

Best Regards,
Thanks

Hi,

It allows you to set different chirping profiles within the same frame. See here.

Thank you for your reply.
I followed the link, but there was no explanation for "2 - continuous chirping".

What kind of mode is "2 - continuous chirping".

Hi,

The continuous mode is not supported in the mmW demo application. The continuous mode is supported only in the Capture demo application in the MMWAVE-SDK.
