IWR6843ISK-ODS: How to get "Noise floor profile"?

Part Number: IWR6843ISK-ODS
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: IWR6843

Hi Technical Support

I would like to get "Noise floor profile(type=3)".

So, I sent "guiMonitor 1 -1 1 0 1 0 0 0" with via  UART (utilizing cfg file).

And, CLI returned "Done".

But, I couldn't get only "Point Cloud TLV(type=6)", "Target Object TLV(type=7)", "Target Index TLV(type=8)",

Could you tell me how to get "Noise floor profile".

Also, could you tell me the structure of "Noise floor profile"?

For example, if type is "Point Cloud TLV", then member are  range {'float', 4}, azimuth {'float', 4}, etc...

Best Regards.

  • Hello,

    From the TLV types you listed in your post, it appears that you are using the Overhead People Counting demo.

    "Point Cloud TLV(type=6)", "Target Object TLV(type=7)", "Target Index TLV(type=8)"

    This demo does not calculate/output Noise Profile.

  • Hello Nitin

    Thank you for your reply.

    Yes, I used "ods_pplcount_lab_68xx.bin".
    This fw is placed at "ti/mmwave_industrial_toolbox_3_3_0/labs/lab0020_pplcount_Overhead/Pre-compiled Binary".

    If I use this fw, I could only "Point Cloud TLV(type=6)", "Target Object TLV(type=7)", "Target Index TLV(type=8)"?

    And, Which shold I use fw to get "Noise floor profile", "Range profile", etc...

    Best Regards.
  • Hello,

    Please use the mmWave SDK out of box demo from the latest mmWave SDK (3.2.0.4). This demo provides the NOISE_FLOOR_PROFILE TLV if it is enabled from the mmWaveDemoVisualizer. The steps to run the out of box demo are defined in the mmWave SDK user guide. Advanced documentation which includes the processing chain details are available in the doxygen documentation which can be accessed from C:\ti\mmwave_sdk_03_02_00_04\docs\mmwave_sdk_module_documentation.html

  • Hello Nitin

    Sorry for the late reply.

    I could confirm "Range Profile" and "Noise Profile" to use mmWaveDemoVisualizer
    and wrote mmWave SDK fw to IWR6843.

    Thank you for you support.

    Best Ragards.
