AWR2243BOOST: Error with capturing data on DCA1000

Part Number: AWR2243BOOST

Hi Support team,

I see the following error messages when using RadarAPI to capture data using a DCA1000+AWR2243BOOST. I see these prints when working with the SensorConfog tab. I follow the steps in User's Guide for mmWaveStudio 3.0.0.7. Any idea what's going on?

Thanks, Daniel

  • Hello Daniel,

    You missed invoking frame config from mmWave Studio before sensor start. Please invoke this API then ARM DCA1000

    Optionally you can use the LUA script to execute all the step in one shot, refer mmWave Studio user guide for this purpose.

    Regards,

  • Thanks Jitendra. I tried DataCaptureDemo_xWR.lua and the board setup as well as data capture look to be completed. However the mmWave Studio closes (crashes I believe) just after a new window opens up (which I assume is the post processing app). Unfortunately I cannot get the output of the script when the software closes. Any idea what is happening?

  • Jitendra, any idea on what is happening?

  • Hi Daniel,

    How often has the mmwave studio crashed while using lua script? Do you see this when you execute the commands manually as well?

    Also, you can opt for Standalone processing (i.e post processing done in a different session from configuration and capture), if the data is successfully captured (which I assume is your case). Please refer to Section 21.8 in the mmwave studio userguide for this.

    Regards,
