IWR6843: Test different mmWave configurations through code

Part Number: IWR6843


Hi,

I am working on IWR6843 and trying to obtain maximum number of points for a static test environment (fixed env. with no movement). How to obtain best radar configuration for this setup?

I also want to test different configurations for the radar and then compare the results. Is there a way this can be done directly through code? I mean without uploading the .config file through tools/GUI provided by TI.

I have been trying to figure this out for a while now.

    Hello,

    For a static test environment you will want to make sure you maximize your range resolution and adjust the CFAR threshold for range dimension as needed.

    To automate your testing you will need to create the test infrastructure to load configs and collect output.

  • Amanda,

    Thank you for the reply.

    How can I load the configurations and collect automatically through code? Can you point me to any document which helps with this.

    You will need to determine how to automate it yourself.

    The out of box demo from the SDK and the demos in the industrial toolbox include examples of how to load a config and receive data. You can use those demos for reference and add automation around the example demos.
