AWR1642BOOST: How to parse the *.dat file from mmWave demo visualizer in Python/MATLAB

Nastya Verhovski

Part Number: AWR1642BOOST

Hi,

I have a question.

I recorded the data using a mmWave demo visualizer and got the *.dat file. My question is how from this file I can get all recorded parameters in order to perform the future calculations in Python/MATLAB?

Maybe you have done Python/MATLAB script that parse all recorded data to *.txt file or something like that?

Thank you

Nastya,

Have a look at this document xWR1xxx ADC Raw Data Capture (Rev. A)

on page 16 'DCA1000 with x16xx MATLAB Example', this will process the raw data, and convert it, then you can save the output as a txt file or csv.

If you have any other questions please let me know.

Alex

Alex,

The proposed MATLAB example related to another structure of output, the *.dat file extracted from the mmWave Demo Visualiser (using the record button) has different output structure, so the proposed MATLAB example doesn't work properly for my recorded *.dat file (doesn't parse it properly). Maybe you have MATLAB script example that could fit for the disscussed output structure?

Thank you in advance

Hi Nastya,
At this link you will find python script which does the basic post-processing of captured *.dat from Visualizer.
