IWR6843: demo visualizer output file format

Cruijff

Part Number: IWR6843

Hi community member,

My customer has evaluated IWR6843ISK using mmwave demo visualizer(3.4.0)
They would like to saving data from mmwave device as .csv file not .dat file.

Does TI have any plans that it can be saved as .csv?
Or can user output saving data .csv file by customization for demo visualizer?

Best regards.

Dear Cruijff:

The two solutions I see are for you to change the GUI itself via GUI composer or you can create a program that loads in a .dat file and converts it to a .csv file.

Dear Cruijff:

Currently the OOB Visualizer only can record data to a .dat file format. This format is nothing more than binary data whose structure is described in the following path:

<mmWave SDK Install Path>/packages/ti/demo/xwr68xx/mmw/docs/doxygen/html/index.html

With that information you can parse that data into a .csv file that seem fit. I would suggest that be the next step you take.

Best regards,
