AWR1243: Issues about how to implement AWR DEV RX CONTSTREAMING MODE CONF SET SB on MMW STUDIO

Hello Junzhe,

There's a tab in mmWave studio called as "ContStream" for this purpose. I have highlighted the steps for your reference (see below).

Furthermore, you could also refer to the example script "DataCaptureDemo_xWR.lua" we provide as a part of mmWave Studio package for this. Just enable the required setting for Continuous stream mode and you're good to go. You can find the script at the below location:

<Install_directory>\ti\mmwave_studio_<version>\mmWaveStudio\Scripts

Let us know if you have any more queries.

Hi Ishita,

Thank you for your reply!

I've tried the "ContStream" tab in MMW-STUDIO. Once I made it enable , the chip's temperature becomed very high, I mean it was hot to touch . And I couldn't get the LVDS frame clock as well.

But I have another AWR1243BOOST, I configured it by transfering messages mentioned in mmWave-Interface-Control via SPI. And I just set the sub block AWR DEV RX CONTSTREAMING MODE CONF SET SB without setting anyother SBs of contsreaming in AWR RF DYNAMIC CONF SET MSG. Then I could get the LVDS frame clock ,and the chip's temperature was normal.

I just can't implement this SPI message sub block AWR DEV RX CONTSTREAMING MODE CONF SET SB on MMW-STUDIO. I want the data path to transfer the captured ADC samples continuously without any break to an external host so I can capture the LVDS frame clock. I don't want to using the continuous wave function.

Hello Junzhe,

Looks like you just want to the capture the frames continuously, For that purpose, configure the Profile, chirps and frames normally with just one change : Put the number of frames captured (No of Frames) as "0" in the "Frame Config" API. 

This way the ADC samples will be captured continuously until you press the "Stop Frame" button explicitly.

Hope this helps.
