DCA1000EVM: Is there any way to synchronize the board with the camera?

Part Number: DCA1000EVM

I'm using the DCA1000EVM to capture the data from xWR1642 device. In order to analyse the data outdoor, a usb web camera is used. I want to know is there any way to synchronize the DCA1000EVM with the captured video. Thanks a lot.

    Hi Hao,

    We do not have any software triggers in mmWave Studio to allow you to synchronize with other devices. I would recommend 1 of two options:

    1. If DCA1000 and camera are connected to the same computer, write a script that starts the raw data capture and the camera recording at the same time.
    2. Have a visual signal in the camera recording that marks when the frame capture starts.

    The DCA1000 and camera will capture at fixed frame rates. For any DCA1000 Frame, the equivalent frame for the camera can be calculated:

    Camera Frame Number = (Radar Frame Number * Radar Frame Time)/Camera Frame Time

    Regards,
