    Ahmed,

    The command ar1.CaptureCardConfig_StartRecord() takes two parameters, the ADC file name and an option to enable the packet sequence number. The ADC file name parameter should point to a .bin file (i.e. adc_data.bin). It appears that you have pointed to a .txt file but I cannot be entirely sure as you did not provide a wide enough screen capture.

    Ensure you are pointing to the correct file and try to run the script again.

    Regards,

    Hi,

    the txt file that you sow in the capture is for pktlogfile.txt.

    Actually, everything work fine and I am receiving data from DCA1000, the adc_data_path is pointed to the correct .bin file, but when the capture demo script, the data is not stored and I am not seeing any error in the log.

    the adc_data.bin file is created but not filled by the captured data. 

    thanks in advance,

    Ahmed

    Ahmed,

    The adc_data.bin file is not written to until the ar1.StartMatlabPostProc() command is issued. The adc_data.bin file contains the post processed data. Prior to this step, the raw data is written to the adc_data_Raw_0.bin file.

    There is no error message because the script is running as expected and no error is occurring. After the script is complete, there are two binary files that can be found in the PostProc folder. The first binary file contains the raw adc data. The second binary file contains the post processed ADC data.

    Regards,

    Hi,

    thanks Kyle.

    Actually, the script is running as expected and the data is transmitted fom the DCA1000 to my PC though Ethernet connection, the adc_data_Raw_0.bin is created in the PostProc folder but the data received is not  filled in this file. I wonder if it is saved in another folder but I dont't think so. I tried the same process in another laptop and data is stored without any issue.

    Regards,

    Ahmed

    Ahmed,

    This sounds like this is an issue specific to your laptop and not an issue with mmWave Studio and the Capture Demo script that is provided in the installation. Both the raw binary data file and the post processed binary data file and stored in the PostProc folder of the mmWave Studio installation.
