DCA1000EVM:IWR6843ISK+DCA1000EVM:How to read the raw data captured by DCA1000?

Part Number: DCA1000EVM

Hi,

I capture the raw data named adc_data.bin which is under C:\ti\mmwave_studio_02_01_00_00\mmWaveStudio\PostProc

and I export the .setup.json file by mmWaveStudio.

Can I read the data using the rawDataReader.m in C:\ti\mmwave_studio_02_01_00_00\mmWaveStudio\MatlabExamples\singlechip_raw_data_reader_example?

If so,   the function rawDataReader(setupJsonFileName, rawDataFileName, radarCubeDataFileName, debugPlot)

Are the first two parameters of rawDataReader I mentioned above?

And I have no idea abut the third parameter, can you tell me how to get the third parameter(radarCubeData)? 

Looking forward to your reply

Thank you.

  • HI, 

    Both two file names are used to save output file.  Please read the function description carefully.

    % Overview:
    % ===========
    % This script reads a JSON file generated from Radar Studio which contains
    % data card captured radar data and its cpature and front end parameters.
    % It reads in data from binary file(s) name stored in JSON file and constructs
    % raw data in frames, chirps and channels. It then performs range FFT to generate
    % radar cube.
    % If file name is provided to export raw ADC data or radar cube, it
    % exports data in Matlab mat file.
    % If debug plot option is enabled, it plots raw ADC data and radar cube
    % data based on the selection of frame index, chirp index and RX channel.

  • Hi,

    Thank you very much for your reply. I have get the matrix I want, Where can I get the documents which explain the output?

    Sorry I'm a beginner so many questions.

    Best Regards,

  • HI, Celia:

    Just follow the matlab script.  I did not find any documentation either.
