AWR1642BOOST: trigger measurement through cmd terminal

Zijian Wang

Part Number: AWR1642BOOST
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DCA1000EVM

Dear all,

We would like to trigger the AWR radar through the cmd terminal (in windows os) in order to synchronize it with other equipment. We were able to launch the recording of the DCA1000EVM through the cmd terminal, but we cannot find a code to actually trigger the AWR.

Is there some example code available that does this ?

Thanks

Hi,

There are two ways to trigger a frame: Software and Hardware Triggering. For software triggering, the following LUA command is used:

See:

C:\ti\mmwave_studio_02_00_00_02\mmWaveStudio\Scripts\DataCaptureDemo_xWR.lua

--Trigger frame
ar1.StartFrame()
RSTD.Sleep(2000)

Thank you
