I want a chirp like below then I tried to make a configuration file like this, but the demo visualizer doesn't work.
Would you tell me which is the wrong command, please?

    Hi,

    In the given configuration you are using single frame setting, with that visualizer may not get sufficient object result to plot, recommend to make it '0' (infinite frame) and try.

    advFrameCfg 4 0 1 1 0.1 (single frame)

    advFrameCfg 4 0 1 1 0.1  (selected for 4 subframe but only one subFrameCfg CLI command is given)

    subFrameCfg 0 0 1 4 2 10.0 4 1 1 20.0 (chirp startIdx should start from zero to select 4 set of chirps).

    Regards,

    Jitendra

    Thank you for your replying quickly.
    I changed to the configuration like below one.
    And demo visualizer indicates that necessary to reduce the frame rate, then I also changed the each periodicity time.
    But demo visualizer doesn't show any graph.
    May I have some tips additionally, please?
    We need some additional line of corresponding to each subframe index?

    Great thanks, Best Regards
    Tak

    Hi Tak

    As mentioned in the user guide, for mmw demo, the way processing is structured, every subframe can only support one profile. 

    {quote}

    profileCfg: profileId

    Legacy frame (dfeOutputMode=1): could be any allowed value but only one valid profile per config is supported.

    Advanced frame (dfeOutputMode=3): could be any allowed value but only one profile per subframe is supported. However, different subframes can have different profiles

    {quote}

    Hence your configuration is not succeeding in getting through Visualizer. However, we have a bug in our parsing code due to which it is not throwing an appropriate error to help you root cause. We will address that in upcoming release. 

    if I change the chirpCfg for 2 and 3 chirps to use profile 0, your configuration goes through. 

    To keep your desired RF config, I would suggest reviewing the code in ti/demo/utils/mmwdemo_rfparser.c and understand how the various RF parameters are translated into processing chain related params.
