IWR1642BOOST： Capture_demo Matlab file compatibility

user6148823

Part Number: IWR1642BOOST

As explained in Mmwave Radar Device ADC Raw Data Capture (swra581b.pdf), After saving data in .dat format using mmwave demo visualizer, you can use the code mentioned in the file to analyze
"Once the data is saved, it can be viewed in MATLAB using the capture_demo.m file located at C: \ mmwave_sdk_ <version_number> \ packages \ ti \ demo \ xwr14xx \ capture \ gui for the xWR1xx, and located at C: \ ti \ mmwave_sdk_01_00_00_05 \ packages \ ti \ demo \ xwr16xx \ capture \ gui for the xWR16xx. This file plots the raw ADC data and the 1D FFT of the ADC data. This code can be modified to complete additional post processing on the data. ""
But I did not find the capture \ gui folder in the corresponding installation path, nor did I find the corresponding matlab code. My mmwave demo visualizer version is 2.1.0 and mmwave sdk version is 02-00-00-04. I hope to provide a solution and provide the corresponding version of matlab code

HI, there:

I did not find the document (swra581b.pdf) mentioned about "After saving data in .dat format using mmwave demo visualizer, you can use the code mentioned in the file to analyze". It only mentioned that you can use ccs to get the data from memory.

I did not find the .\capture\gui directory in the recent two released SDK as well. I will ask an expert for that information and let you know.

Best,

Zigang

Thank you very much and look forward to your reply.
The content I mentioned is at the bottom of the fourth page of the document "Mmwave Radar Device ADC Raw Data Capture"

It mentioned that you can use the capture_demo.m to process the data. But it does not mention that the data is saved through demo visualizer.

However, I checked the path mentioned in the article and my installation path, and neither found the file capture_demo.m mentioned in the article. I want to find this file and use it. Is there any solution?

thanks

There are two different issues here:

1) we can not find the capture_demo.m

2) Does capture_demo.m can process the data saved by demo visualizer.

The first question I will try to find a answer for you. The answer to the second question is "capture_demo.m can not process the data that is saved from demo visualizer ".

Best,

The two questions you summarized are very correct, but I have some questions about the second question.As shown, he mentioned "Once the data is saved, it can be viewed in MATLAB using the capture_demo.m"
So does it mean that you can process saved .dat data files?

thanks

THe whole section 3 is talking about "Viewing and Saving Raw Data Using Capture Demo and CCS". So you need to run capture demo in CCS and save data using CCS. The capture demo is not the demo visualizer.

Ok, thank you very much for your answer. Also trouble you to help solve the first problem, look forward to your reply.

Hi,

It turns out that capture demo is no longer supported. Now there is a memory capture test you can use, the code is located at:

C:\ti\mmwave_sdk_02_01_00_04\packages\ti\drivers\test\mem_capture

It is described in users guide C:\ti\mmwave_sdk_02_01_00_04\docs\mmwave_sdk_user_guide.pdf at section 5. 4. 11. 3. Basic configuration of Front end and capturing ADC data in L3 memory.

Best,
