AWR1642BOOST: AWR1642BOOST: Collecting Raw ADC Data using MATLAB！！

Hi,

My goal is to understand the exact way to control mmwave stdio via external matlab script (to configure the chirp configurations and automate raw data capture and user customized post processing with DCA1000/IWRxxx environment).

I`m working through this e2e, and I eventually have reached the following log on output console of mmwave studio

It seems that MATLAB and mmwave studio have established a connection, but when I execute“ RtttNetClientAPI.RtttNetClient.SendCommand("ar1.SOPControl(2)");”, hit output results are as follows, and there is an error. How should I solve it?

Method' SendCommand' with matching signature was not found for class' RtttNetClientAPI

    Hello User,

    For cascade devices, we always use Matlab to configure mmWave Studio. There are some example codes in the below directory:

    C:\ti\mmwave_studio_02_01_xx_xx\mmWaveStudio\MatlabExamples\4chip_cascade_TxBF_example

    We though this might be helpful for you. Please take a look.

    Regards,

    Ishita

    This folder is not in the directory, and can you explain to me the reason of this mistake and how to solve it?

    I found this folder, but it seems that none of them can work. Can you recommend a file that can be run directly after running the first two scripts?

    This is the code I used in MATLAB before

    Following the instruction and sample code in the "mmwave_studio_user_guide.pdf" , in the chapter named "Controlling mmWaveStudio from Matlab"
    create the scripts "RSTD_Interface_Example.m" and "Init_RSTD_Connection.m".

    After you have ran the scripts "RSTD_Interface_Example.m" and "Init_RSTD_Connection.m", then you can begin passing all the above commands as MatLab strings, examples below.

    % Matlab Code begins


    RtttNetClientAPI.RtttNetClient.SendCommand("ar1.SOPControl(2)");

    RtttNetClientAPI.RtttNetClient.SendCommand("ar1.Connect(6,921600,1000)");

    RtttNetClientAPI.RtttNetClient.SendCommand("ar1.DownloadBSSFw("C:\\ti\\mmwave_studio_<version>\\rf_eval_firmware\\radarss\\xwr16xx_radarss.bin")");

    RtttNetClientAPI.RtttNetClient.SendCommand("ar1.DownloadMSSFw("C:\\ti\\mmwave_studio_<version>\\rf_eval_firmware\\masterss\\xwr16xx_masterss.bin")");

    RtttNetClientAPI.RtttNetClient.SendCommand("ar1.PowerOn(0, 1000, 0, 0)");

    RtttNetClientAPI.RtttNetClient.SendCommand("ar1.RfEnable()");

    % MatLab code ends

    It appears that sendcommand is not available

    Hello User,

    Are you getting any error when you run the above commands? I just want to understand what happens when you issue these?
