IWR1642BOOST: The output data from IWR1642BOOST running mmWave demo visualizer

Guru 16800 points
Part Number: IWR1642BOOST

Hello,

Could you tell me about the detail output data from IWR1642BOOST running mmWave demo visualizer?
We want to know the format of the output data and consider using the data in another application.

Best Regards,
Nomo

  • Hi Nomo,

     To process the data from DataPort(UART): See the Visualizer User's Guide, section 4.4, to understand what the data contains. Information on the actual data is available in the doxygen - <mmWave_SDK_Install_DIR>\packages\ti\demo\xwr16xx\mmw\docs\doxygen\html\index.html.

    User's Guide: www.ti.com/.../swru529a.pdf

     There is a demo in beta that saves the recorded object point cloud data to a human readable CSV file - you can read the code and understand the data conversion process:

    mmWave visualizer with the LOG function: dev.ti.com/.../
