Part Number: DCA1000EVM
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: IWR1443,

Hi,

I use IWR1443 + DCA1000EVM

I want to know more detail for CW(Continuous wave) mode.

I saw your answer that should set ContStream tab but i don't understand about the correct sequence and way.

and happened under error.

We have a plan to use CW mode for Product certification.

Please help me.

thank you.

Hi,

You can refer to the following thread for capturing data in CW mode: https://e2e.ti.com/support/sensors/f/1023/t/887694.

You can proceed with the same steps on your mmWave studio version.

Hi,

1. I hope you're "setting up the DCA1000" first before pressing the "capture" button.

2. Also, in case of DCA1000 EVM, to complete/stop the capture, you've to "disable" the CW after a calculated time (based on the number of samples you're interested in capturing).

(mmWave Studio 02.00.00.02 does not have a functionality to notify DCA1000 about capture complete in case of CW mode, hence you'll have to do this manually.)

I hope the information is clear. Can you try and let us know if it works?

Regards,

Ishita
