MMWCAS-RF-EVM: logging the starting and ending time of mmW data collection

Greeting,

Follow by the post [longer capture time and lower sample rate on mmW cascade board], now I can collect longer time. However, how to log down the starting and ending time of mmW data collection? One way is write a line `print(os.date("%H:%M:%S"))` in script `Cascade_Capture.lua`, and I believe the staring time is correct, while not for ending time -- the ending time is always starting time + capture_time we set, which is not ground truth.

While the duration can be calculate according to setting in Cascade_Configure_MIMO.lua. Do I get it right?

Best.

Hello Jet,

Since you're adding these print statements in a script and defining the variables accordingly, the prints you will get in the mmWave studio output log will be according to the script only.

But I guess you can time the frame start and frame end async events you get from the AWR devices for the framing duration.

Regards,

Ishita

Thanks, I suppose this is the best we can do for logging the time.
