MMWAVEICBOOST: MMWave Studio Lua check status and determine save location

Cole Harlow

Part Number: MMWAVEICBOOST

Hi everyone,

I am automating data collection using mmWave Studio and Matlab. I am trying to take measurements as quickly as possible but am also syncing up the measurements with an external device which is also being controlled using MATLAB. I am looking for a way to have MATLAB be alerted when the mmWaveStudio platform has finished its measurement and is prepared to take another measurement. Essentially I want a message to be sent to MATLAB when mmWave has finished its measurement and is ready to take another measurement.

Another useful feature I am interested in would be a Lua command to control the SAVE path of mmWaveStudio data? Currently I am copying the data returned by mmWave to another directory but it would be prefered to have mmWave save to that directory on its own.

Thank You

I was able to find a Lua command which determines where the binary data is saved. I used the command ar1.CaptureCardConfig_StartRecord(SAVEPATH,1). For the monitoring of the data I was unable to find any commands which cater to that.

HI, Cole:

Since you know how long is the capture, can you pause for enough time to wait for the capture to be done.

There is a similar e2e thread you can reference to: https://e2e.ti.com/support/sensors/f/sensors-forum/980152/iwr6843-reading-console-output-from-my-lua-automation-script

Next time, you can try to search through e2e forum to get immediate help.

Best,

Zigang
