IWR6843AOPEVM: DCA1000EVM: adc_data.bin is empty after data capture

Hello, I am having problems with making the data capture work for the IWR6843AOP EVM. 

The "adc_data.bin" File is empty after the frame is triggered: 

The connection to the device and loading of the firmware seems to work (Note that I using mMWave Studio 02.00.00.02 because the IWR6843AOP is not supported with Version 02.01.00.00):

My best guess is that I am somehow using the wrong data or chirp configuration, so I am attaching pictures of those:
