AWR1243: ar1.PacketReorderZeroFill command error

Thanks Adrian,

I am still struggling to figure out why some of my adc_data_Raw_0.bin files are not able to be processed. Could you take a look at one of them that is currently not able to be processed?

Thanks

Hello YS,

This is because the adc_data_Raw_0.bin file is the file before the packet reorder utility is run. The explanation as to why this happens to some of the files is here:

Hi Adrian,

Sorry for not communicating this clearly. My question arises because the zero filling command. ar1.PacketReorderZeroFill does not run properly (0kb output file) in many cases even if there is a non 0kb raw_0.bin file. 

It seems to be that if the data captured is incomplete (less kb than the successful times) that it has this error. Can you confirm that this may be the root of the problem?

If this is the problem, how can we make sure that we get all the data? Could we maybe write to the SD card on the DCA to avoid sending it via ethernet? 

We have this problem fairly often and it is extremely frustrating to set up our test situation only to find that the captured data is not able to be used because it cannot be "zero filled". 

This is my output log. How do you change the packet delay?
