RTOS/DCA1000EVM: collect vital signs ADC data using DCA1000EVM

Hello Kyle,

with the above steps, i am able to get the ADC data but is it PostProc data? I want raw ADC data.

one more question,
with mmwave studio +AWR1642BOOST+ DCA1000EVM + evaluation firmware(~\mmwave_studio_<ver>\rf_eval_firmware), i am able to get RAW adc data. Is it possible to collect raw ADC data with this way for vital signs also? if yes what are the firmware files i have to load for vital signs?

These are the files generated in CCS while building vital signs,

MSS -  vitalSigns_16xx_mss.bin, vitalSigns_16xx.bin,  vitalSigns_16xx_mss.xer4f

DSS -  vitalSigns_16xx_dss.bin, vitalSigns_16xx_dss.xe674

Thanks,
Arun

Thanks Kyle,

>>You can use the configuration file (.cfg) that is provided in the vital signs lab folder. You can extract and implement the profile, chirp, and frame configuration in mmWave Studio and then collect raw data using mmWave Studio. 

so, by using same vital signs configurations and evaluation firmware(~\mmwave_studio_<ver>\rf_eval_firmware) in mmwave studio, i can extract raw ADC data which allow me to go further for vital signs extraction from this raw data. Please correct me if my understanding is wrong.

one more question,
How ~\mmwave_studio_<ver>\rf_eval_firmware files are generated? can you please point out source code for this?

Thanks,
Arun

Thanks Kyle,

I have modified profile, chirp and frame configurations in DataCaptureDemo_xWR.lua as per the vital sign profile, chirp and frame configuration.

ar1.ProfileConfig(0, 77, 7, 6, 57, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 70.006, 1, 100, 2000, 0, 0, 40)

ar1.ChirpConfig(0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0)

ar1.FrameConfig(0, 0, 300, 2, 50, 0, 1)

please let me know, if any other changes needed.

>>Please keep in mind that is it the inter frame DSP algorithm that is is included in the Vital Signs lab source files that calculates the breathing rate and heart rate. Please refer to the Developer's Guide for more information.

Got it Kyle. we are trying to extract the vitals from raw ADC data by applying band pass filtering+ACMA algorithms in Matlab.

Thanks,

Arun
