    Hello Chao,

    Some tips for creating a lua script:
    - Use the DataCaptureDemo_xWR.lua as a template. This illustrates the minimum lua commands needed.
    - To understand the function calls in the demo script you can either see all the available LUA commands for mmWave Studio or you can open the Lua Shell and type help ar1 or help ar1.<command>
    example:
    help ar1.LVDSLaneConfig
    Int32 ar1.LVDSLaneConfig(UInt16 laneFrmtCfg, UInt16 lane1En, UInt16 lane2En, UInt16 lane3En, UInt16 lane4En, UInt16 msbFst, UInt16 pktEndPls, UInt16 crcEn) - LVDSLaneConfig API Defines the device data format configuration
    _I_ UInt16 laneFrmtCfg - Radar ADC output bit format configuration
    _I_ UInt16 lane1En - Rx1 Channel enable
    _I_ UInt16 lane2En - Rx2 Channel enable
    _I_ UInt16 lane3En - Rx3 Channel enable
    _I_ UInt16 lane4En - Rx4 Channel enable
    _I_ UInt16 msbFst - Data recieve format type
    _I_ UInt16 pktEndPls - Packet End Pulse
    _I_ UInt16 crcEn - CRC Enable

    The flow I recommend to follow is to use the mmWave Studio via GUI clicks - make sure that you can capture the data as desired manually. Then to make a script note that every time you "set" a configuration, such as the chirp profile, the console window at the bottom will print the lua command. You can then copy all the lua commands and replace the matching command in the template lua script.
