IWR6843ISK: Convert *doc files from visualizer to usable matlab data i.e signal amplitude

Part Number: IWR6843ISK
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DCA1000EVM

I have to get the data in ASCI format to proceed in MATLAB  with our algorithms  , from mmWave demo visualizer I receive  *.dat files when I save data.  that files are binary and are not understandable for me ( I try to follow mmWave demo doxygen in SDK package to understand the format and how to parse it. But no positive results with understanding that)

Now I don’t use DCA1000EVM. I see that it is needed for raw ADC data capture, but there is also Save data at  mmWave Demo visualizer and I would like to take advantage of it at this moment.

If it is possible to show me exactly the way /tools to convert these files *doc from Visulaizer  to   files where I have  amplitude of data  vs sample and RX channel it would be great

If you have any matlab package to grab data from sensor… it may save time.

Any pointers provided here on undertanding the data and how to then utilise it from the visulizer docs would be much appreciated.

  • Hi Calex36,

    The visualizer's "Record" feature only captures the post-processed object data. It is a frame by frame spreadsheet of what is seen in the visualizer.

    The recommended method for raw data capture is using the DCA1000EVM.
