DCA1000EVM: How to configure dca100evm to let iwr642 collect data all the time

DCA1000EVM: The lvds data obtained by running the lua script is empty, what should I do?

Part Number: DCA1000EVM
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: IWR1642

I am running with a script and the DATA_TRAN_PRG light from the DCA1000EVM is lit green, but this light is not flashing. And I found the file save path on the PC and found that all the files collected are 0kb. What should I do? A screenshot of the script and data collection files is listed below.Except for running this script, what configuration do I need to do about iwr1642?

    Hello,

    Please try capturing through mmWave studio software, and let me know if this works.  Here is a training video on how to capture with the DCA1000.  Once you've successfully captured using mmWave studio, you can use the output log from mmWave studio to help write your script.

    Hello,

    It looks as though you were able to successfully capture through mmWave studio. You are able to create a lua script that successfully captures from this output log by removing everything that doesn't start with "ar1.".

    Hope this helps.

    I had done a lua script by removing everything that doesn't start with "ar1.".but all the file is empty.

    Hello,

    Is the ADC_Data_Raw file empty when you run the lua script? You need to include the 'PostProc' ar.1 commands in your lua script.
