CCS/IWR1642BOOST: IWR1642 Single measurement over time.

Part Number: IWR1642BOOST
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: IWR1642

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Good morning,

I am working with the IWR1642BOOST evaluation board, and since I don't have available the TSW1400 EVM and the DevPack, I am doing measurements by saving the memory cells on the board on a .dat file using the CCS software and a hyper-terminal program to send the configuration commands. (Start adresss: 0x20000000, number of words: 0x1FFFFF). At the moment every time I want to do an independent measurement, i have to send the commands to the board by hyper-terminal and then save the memory data in CCS. Since there are two independent programs which I have to use I don't know how can I do to automatize some measurements during a period of time. Is there any way of saving data automatically during time?

Thank you very much in advance.

    Hi,

    CCS has scripting capabilities to load/save to/from memory.

    Please also review other e2e threads related to CCS scripting

    thank you

    Thank you very much Cesar. I just want to ask you some extra tips. As i said my objective is to automatize some consecutive measurements with the IWR1642. In order to renew the data that is saved in memory I have to send the commands "SensorStop" and "SensorStart", so the memory gets filled again with new data via Hyperterminal. Even if I am looking for it I dont find any command for my script that allows me to do that. Is there an easy solution that I could use for this purpose?

    Thanks in advance,
    Carlos

    I am also saving data in a wrong format. I am using the following command:

    saveData(0x20000000,0,"C:\\Users\\Carlos.Chaves\\Desktop\\testsave3.dat",0x1FFFFF,IOMEMORY_HEX,false)

    However when I save data by using the option in the Tools menu i get the hexadecimal data formatted in groups of 16 bits, while when I use the script command they come in 32:

    Since the options to choose for the formating are IOMEMORY_COFF, IOMEMORY_FLOAT, IOMEMORY_HEX, IOMEMORY_INT,  IOMEMORY_LONG I cant format the data as I want. Is there any other formatting word available?. Also there are only 127 available commands for the scripting console of CCS. Are there more commands available to use?

    Hi Carlos,

    If you are looking to save the data in a different format then I'd recommend using an external editor with this functionality.
