MMWAVE-SDK: Software use of mmwave demo visualizer

Part Number: MMWAVE-SDK

Hi Team,

Customer wanted to know how to control all operations of mmwave demo visualizer by inputting commands only in the terminal when using linux system. He mainly wants to know how to start saving radar data and end saving radar data.

Thanks,

Annie

  • Hello Annie,

    You can use serial terminal tool to connect two COM ports of device which Visualizer uses as CLI and DATA COM ports.

    Each CLI commands from *.cfg file can be sent over serial terminal @115200 and on the other COM port (@ 921600) be capture and store to a file.

     Effectively mmw demo can be configure over serial terminal instead of Visualizer.

  • Hi Jitendra,

    Thanks for your answer. 

    The customer said that his current task requirement is not to change the configuration in the .cfg, but to call the save data button in the mmwave demo visualizer in a third-party tool, so that it can achieve the function of saving data in the third tool as required. Would you have any suggestion for how to resolve this case?

    Best regards,

    Annie

  • Hello Annie,

    Save data button saves all the received object result to a file (which it was receiving from device and plotting on visualizer).

    Now if Save button needs to be connected with third-party tool then Visualizer needs to be disconnected from the UART COM port so 3rd party app can connect to that UART com port.

    As Visualizer connects to both of UART COM port together, so effectively they don't need to use Visualizer at all here.

    And user serial terminal at one end (CFG COM PORT) to send *.cfg CLI command to device (as mentioned in last reply) and capture object result from another terminal tool where this capture event is triggered by 3rd party tool.
