TIDEP-01012: How to control the serial port from a mmwave studio .lua script

Part Number: TIDEP-01012

Dear TI Support

I want to send a command string to the computer serial port from a .lua script running in the TI mmWave Studio in order to control and synchronise a piece of test kit with the TIDEP-01012 radar measurements.  

Ideally these commands would be added to the Cascade_Capture.lua in order to configure the test equipment prior to iniating data capature.

So can you let me know if it is possible to send commands/strings to a serial port from a .lua script running in TI mmWave Studio and how this can be done?

Best regards

Jonathan

    Hello Jonathan,

    I think we might have something for you on this. Let me check with the internal team and get back to you.

    Hello Jonathon,

    Include the SerialPortController DLL (You can find this at following location ...\mmwave_studio_03_00_00_14\mmWaveStudio\Clients\SerialPortController)  

    And use the following commands:

    - serialport.SetParams

    - serialport.Connect

    - serialport.Write

    - serialport.Read

    - serialport.Disconnect

    - serialport.Release

     Lua help in mmWave studio should explain the parameters for these commands, as well as some more available functions in the serialport DLL.

    Regards,

    Ishita
