Hello,

I would like to capture the ADC data, I am using IWR6843AOPEVM with MMWAVEICBOOST.

I refer to mmWave Visualizer software documentation as below: www.ti.com/.../swru529c.pdf

And I can only find this info:

My questions are:

1. What kind of data format that RECORD button saves? Is there any parsing script available somewhere?

2. How to capture the ADC data from IWR6843AOP EVM? I have DCA1000EVM and MMWAVEICBOOST, trying to ask in other thread but no response yet. So capturing the data from mmWave Visualizer is an alternative way?

Hi Andrew,

For #1, The demo visualizer provides a way to save the point cloud data and play it back in the visualizer and the SDK also includes a python script to parse the data and save in into an xls file.

Please refer to the following section in the SDK user guide:
