AWR1642: vital sign demo- change the frame-rate of the system

Part Number: AWR1642

Hi,

I want to increase the sampling rate of the vital sign demo. How can I do it?

Best,

Yudi

  • Yudi,

    You can increase the sampling rate of the vital signs demo by modifying the configuration file (.cfg). This is located in the vitalSigns_host\profile folder of the vitals signs lab folder. Specifically, you will need to modify the "profileCfg" argument. You can find out more information about this CLI command in the User's Guide of the mmWave SDK.

  • Hi Kyle,

    Thanks for your reply. I want to increase the sampling rate to 500 Hz, but the demo cannot run when I set it as 500 Hz. Do you know what is problem? Thanks.
  • Yudi,

    What does your new configuration file look like? Please copy the contents of your configuration file into the response window.

  • Hi,

    As following shown, I changed the fifth number of frameCfg from 50 to 5. Then, the demo cannot run. 

    sensorStop
    flushCfg
    dfeDataOutputMode 1
    channelCfg 15 3 0
    adcCfg 2 1
    adcbufCfg -1 0 0 1 0
    profileCfg 0 77 7 6 57 0 0 70 1 200 4000 0 0 48
    chirpCfg 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1
    frameCfg 0 0 2 0 5 1 0
    lowPower 0 1
    guiMonitor 0 0 0 0 1
    calibDcRangeSig -1 0 0 0 0
    vitalSignsCfg 0.05 0.9 256 512 4 0.1 0.05 100000 300000
    motionDetection 1 20 0.01 1
    sensorStart

  • Yudi,

    Does the demo run when you leave the fifth value at 50? What error messages are you seeing when you change it to 5? With a value at 5, you may not be leaving enough interframe processing time for the vital signs processing chain to complete correctly.
