IWR1443BOOST: In-depth explanation of cli parameters

I would also like to know what the standard parameters are for the high accuracy lab, and an explanation why and which i can adjust for better results, and which i absolutely shouldn't adjust anymore

Can u provide a link to these?
I am unable to find in-depth information so perhaps i am looking at the wrong documentation.

cheers

Sure.
For mmwave sdk can be downloaded from www.ti.com/.../MMWAVE-SDK.
The mmwave sdk user guide is located under mmwave sdk software installation path: C:\ti\mmwave_sdk_<ver>\docs

High accuracy lab user guide is located under the high accuracy lab folder. You can go to www.ti.com/tirex
Use the left side panel to navigate to Software>Mmwave Training <version> which will automatically direct you to mmwave toolbox. Go to Labs> High Accuracy Range Measurement -- 14xx, the user guide is located under it.

You recommend to only change the parameters RangeLimitCfg and calibDcRangSig.
calibDcRangSig doesn't exist according to the datasheet on IWR1443BOOST.

I understand what the RangeLimitCfg is for. It seems i need to enter 2 parameters even if i disable it. Can i set both to 0 or will that cause trouble? What would be optimal configuration for my application? i want as far reach as possible, as well as very close reach.

furthermore i don't fully understand the difference between the high accuracy profiles: profile_2de and profile_2db.
the only difference between them seems to be these lines:
profileCfg 0 77 7 7 212.8 0 0 18.32 1 1024 5000 0 0 40
profileCfg 0 77 7 7 130.05 0 0 27.96 1 512 4195 0 0 36

could you explain to me what these lines do? i don't understand them, which would be best for my current application ?
i would like an in-depth explanation of each of the parameters in these lines.

cheers

Hi Jason,

The calibDcRangeSig cli command is documented in the mmwave sdk user guide (as attached) page 21. For the RangLimitCfg, the number of arguments is fixed. Once it is disabled, it doesn't matter what value was used as range limit. This CLI is to help user to select their range of interest. Because high accuracy lab only return one peak value, the highest peak in the test range may not be what user wants. Then this cli command can be used to select the range of interest.

The profileCfg parameters are listed in the attached mmwave SDK user guide. The chirp slope and range resolution determine the theoretical max range.

accuracy. For more details on chirp parameter programming, please refer to 

Let me know if you have any question.

Thanks and Regards,

Michelle

Hi,

what is the difference between the profile_2de and profile_2db profiles? what use cases determines the difference between these?

cheers

Hi,

2de supports longer range.

Thanks and Regards,
Michelle
