IWR6843ISK: Radar utility/visualizer to log radar data

Part Number: IWR6843ISK

Tool/software:

Hi,

I am using IWR6843ISK radar module. I have industrial visualizer to see the data coming from radar. But there is no way to log the data and analyze the data. Is there any other visualizer where I can log the radar data?

Thanks,
Manoj

  • Hello Manoj,

    The Applications Visualizer as part of the Radar Toolbox does have a save log function, in addition to data replay. Make sure you have the newest version of the Radar Toolbox which as of this post is 3.00.00.05

  • Hi Pedrhom,

    I tried this application. When i start logging it creates file but doesnt log anything in it. It shows 0KB file size and nothing in it.

    Could you please guide me with this.

    Thanks,
    Manoj

  • Hello Manoj,

    Are you using Python Version 3.7.3? Or are you just running the executable? Are you selecting the "Log Terminal Output to File" button first and then hitting start and send? How much time did you have go by before stopping it?

  • Hi Pedrhom,

    I have Python version 3.13.2 installed in my system. 

    I tried selecting the "Log Terminal Output to File" button first and then hitting start and send, also start without send configuration. Even I tried hitting log option after establishing the connection also after start and send. It creates file but does not log anything. But it creates "binData" folder. In this folder I could find the replay files. For single instance it creates multiple files. What these multiple files mean? I could be able to play those replay files in visualizer. 

    So overall I have two queries,

    1. Logging file is created but with 0KB size. Is there anything that I am missing to enable logging?
    2. What these multiple replay file means for single instance only?

    Thanks,
    Manoj

  • Hello Manoj,

    Please run the visualizer from source using the recommended Python Version of 3.7.3. Use a virtual environment using a tool like conda or venv to do so so that you can keep 3.13.2 you currently have installed.
