IWR1443: Radar Studio Documentations for Lua Scripting

Eric Wolf

Part Number: IWR1443

Hello

The Radar Studio User Manual has a very brief section on Lua scripting to automate acquisition tasks. and I find some Lua scripting in this file,as follow in picture1. 

Q1:what function can these documents specifically achieve?

Q2:If I want to write a piece of Lua code to control the launch and stop of the radar signal,  what should  I do ? Conventional operation is followed by clicking  'TSW1400 ARM' 'Trigger Frame' and other buttons in  Radar Studio to control the signal transmission and stop .(in picture2)

Thanks!

    Hello Eric,

    To view a list of all of the Lua Shell commands with a brief description, you can type 'help' in the Lua Shell.

    An easy way to see what command corresponds to what button is to look at the output of the console window after each button press. The corresponding Lua command should be printed to the console window. You can view the console window by selecting View > Output in the Radar Studio GUI.

    For example, when you press 'TSW1400 ARM' you should see something similar to 'ar1.StartTsw1400Arm("C:\\ti\\mmwave_dfp_00_07_00_04\\rf_eval\\radarstudio\\PostProc\\adc_data.bin")' output on the console window. This is the corresponding Lua command.

    When you press 'Trigger Frame' you should see 'ar1.StartFrame()' output to the console window. This is the corresponding Lua command for the 'Trigger Frame' button.

    There should be a Lua command for each button in Radar Studio, so all Radar Studio commands can be automated.

    Regards,

    Adrian
