    Hello Mohit,

    For connection to studio, you have to ensure the connectivity status first and populate correct jumpers on the SOP pins. I believe you want to use SOP 2 Mode. Please put jumpers on SOP0 and SOP1 pins and then press the "SET(1)" button. After that, for RS232 connection, please select the correct COM port from the drop down list and then press "Connect(2)". For detailed instructions, please refer to the training video below:

    https://training.ti.com/dca1000-training-video 

    Please let us know if you're still not able to capture after following the instructions.

    Regards,

    Ishita

    Hello Mohit,

    Can you check if switch S2 on the EVM is set to "SPI" and not "CAN". (Please refer to AWR1843 EVM user guide to locate the position of the switch. By default, the switch is set to ON position or "CAN").

    Regards,

    Ishita
