AWR1243BOOST: DCA1000EVM

Hi Fatima, 

Just to clarify, are you asking how to confirm that the config settings you apply in mmWave studio are correctly pushed to the radar device? If so, after loading and sending the sensor Config you can check the logs/returned value on the studio.

Hello Aydin,

Thank you for your reply.

I managed to send data and read it with the lua file DataCaptureDemo_xWR.lua, but now I want to test my own Lua script to detect data from a physical target. How can I make sure my test will be successful? is there any tutorial for that ?

Best regards,

Do I need to define the dimensions (x, y, z) of my object in TestSource, or can I simply activate the test source without manually defining any dimensions?

Hello Aydin,

Thanks for helping, 

Yes, that's right. Regarding the configuration sensor, how can I ensure that the configuration matches my target and gives me an accurate distance, for example?

I use the documentation to calculate the parameters and also the ramp end time calculator, but I detect an accuracy error. For example, my target is 76 cm in front of my radar, but with the FFT range, I see 84 cm. In addition, I would like to know how I can locate my target and my antenna to ensure that my target is within the detection range?

Last question about LUA Script, can i just modify with my own configuration in the DataCaptureDemo_xWR.lua without write another file ?

Regards,

Fatima

Hello,

Is there a tutorial or LUA script available for integrating the MIMO TDM configuration into mmwave studio?
