Hi Radar team, 

When running raw data capture, I got the following error:

  

[16:43:47]  DLL Version : 1.0
[16:43:47]  --xw_status=0
[16:43:47]  xw_status = mws.sopControl(0, 3)
[16:43:47]  --xw_status = 0
[16:43:47]  xw_status = mws.nReset(0)
[16:43:47]  --xw_status = 0
[16:43:47]  xw_status = mws.rs232Config(0, 86, 1, 0)
[16:43:48]  --xw_status = 3
[16:43:48]  
[16:43:48]  &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
[16:43:48]  ***Script FAILED!***
[16:43:48]  &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
[16:43:48]  Exception message is:
[16:43:48]  C:\Users\xxxxxxx\Desktop\AutomatedRDC58GHz.lua:177: ERROR: API failed

What could be the cause? 

All the best,

Ethan Cope

    Hi Ethan, 

    Depending on the device, the process for Raw Data Capture differs. Check this link for device-specific guides.

    There are a few things that could cause this error. The most simple cause is if the device isn't set to the correct SOP mode. Double-check your SOP mode switches with the guide for your EVM above. On AWRL6844 specifically there are two switches in the bottom left that always get forgotten!

    Another cause is if the wrong COM port is entered. Ensure that you've updated the EVM COM port in the Lua script you're running, or make sure it's correct in the mmWave studio GUI. 

    Hope this helps,
