DCA1000EVM: Documentation of LUA shell commands in DataCaptureDemo_xWR script

Part Number: DCA1000EVM

Hello,

We were wondering if there is any documentation of the LUA functions that are being used in the DataCaptureDemo_xWR.lua script that can be found in the C:\ti\mmwave_studio_02_00_00_02\mmWaveStudio\Scripts directory.

We were trying to implement the commands/functions into our own script but we were not sure about the significance of the different parameters that were being passed into them.

A sample of a command that we are looking for documentation or the function implementation for is given below:

ar1.ProfileConfig(0, 77, 100, 6, 60, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 29.982, 0, 256, 10000, 0, 0, 30)

  • Hi,

    I'm afraid we don't currently have a single document describing all available LUA functions, but some basic help on each function is available in the built-in Lua Shell in mmWave Studio. For example, run "help ar1.ProfileConfig" to get the list of parameters for this function.

    Most of the functions map one-to-one to APIs described in the ICD. The ICD describes each parameter. Also, the mmWave Studio GUI exposes all of these parameters more intuitively, and it's easier to use the GUI to make a change and transfer the corresponding LUA command from the output window into a script.

    A future update to mmWave Studio will include documentation on the available LUA API functions in one place.

    Best Regards,

    Anand
