Original question:

DCA1000EVM: AWR1642, the path of raw data after the Ethernet interface

DCA1000EVM: AWR1642, configure DCA1000 to capture data without 'mmwave studio'?

Part Number: DCA1000EVM
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AWR1642

Hi,

I am wondering if can I use some APIs created by TI to configure the DCA1000EVM and AWR1642 to capture data. This is because I found using mmwave studio to configure the DCA1000EVM is so complicated and I want to let the PC control the DCA1000EVM automatically.

This will be of great help for us. Looking forward to your advice!

Thanks,

William

    Hi William,

    We have some APIs exposed in "C:\ti\mmwave_studio_02_00_00_02\mmWaveStudio\Clients\AR1xController\rf_api.h". Could you take a look and see if this is enough for you?

    You can also refer to the C:\ti\mmwave_studio_02_00_00_02\mmWaveStudio\Scripts\DataCaptureDemo_xWR.lua script for a way to control the DCA1000 + AWR1642 programmatically.

    I'm afraid we do not have any other way at the moment.

    Best Regards,

    Hi Anand,

    Thanks for your answer. It really helps me!
    However, I am using the mmWaveStudio_01_00_00_00 now and there is no 'rf_api.h' file. In this way, do I need to download the mmWaveStudio_02_00_00_02? Or if can I found these apis in other files?

    Best wishes,
    William

    Hi,

    The rf_api.h file is only included with mmWaveStudio_02_00_00_02. So you will need to download and install that version.

    You can install both versions side-by-side to different directories and use either of them later.

    Best Regards,
