TSW1400EVM: Error During Raw ADC Data Capture

Part Number: TSW1400EVM

while I try to capture RAW ADC data using AWR1642Boost, mmWave-DevPack, and TSW1400EVM, some times TSW1400 ARM works, but sometimes it gives me error. Can anyone explain why I get the error?

Error Log is pasted below:

Hi Anum
I am re-directing your post to the mmWave radar experts who support the AWR1642Boost solution.
Best regards,

Hi,

Between the successful and unsuccessful tests, anything different? Could you save the config using the left side panel and send to me for the case with error? Also please make sure the using HSDC Pro and you can loading the same firmware each time.

Some other information can also be helpful, for example, when the record failed, it happens after the board all being power cycled or when you were trying to do repeated measurements?

Thanks and Regards,

Michelle

My configuration setting was same for both the successful and unsuccessful tests. I didnt close the HSDC pro.

The process is explained below:
I set uo all the configuration parameters.
Setup TSW1400 is successful.
Then I cick TSW1400 ARM.

For some cases, after waiting for some time, I get the error mentioned above i.e
[14:41:55] [RadarAPI]: ar1.StartTsw1400Arm("C:\\ti\\mmwave_studio_01_00_00_00\\mmWaveStudio\\PostProc\\adc_data.bin")
[14:42:06] [RadarAPI]: MatlabProc Status: Error Number: 1024
[14:42:06] [RadarAPI]: MatlabProc Status: Error Type:

But in some cases, i donot get any error and can proceed successfully. It happens during the same test as in, I donot change anything between the successful and unsuccessful tests.

Just to confirm, the error occurs after you press the TSW1400 ARM button. If you press one more time, will it be successful again? or you need power cycle to fix it?

Thanks and Regards,
Michelle

The error occurs randomly. I donot do anything. SOmetimes it occurs and other times its fine.
Do I need to press the trigger frame right after clicking the ARM button? Or do I have to wait for some time and then click trigger frame?

I see. So even you get an error, but after pressing it one more time, it may work again, correct?
According to the radar studio user guide: after ARM TSW1400. Wait one second. before running the trigger frame. Is this done consistent?

Thanks and Regards,
Michelle

Okay.I think may be I wait for longer time than 1 sec, thats why the error comes.
I wait until I get a response for ARM command, then I press Trigger frame. May be that is why I get the error.

TI__Genius 11405 points

OK. Let me know how that works for you. Thanks!

0 Anum Pirkani over 7 years ago in reply to Michelle Liu

Yeah, I think this is working.
If I click Trigger Frame too soon or too late, I get this error.

Thanks a lot.

If possible, can you look into my other thread as well?
