AWR1243: Call lua script from Matlab

Gabriel Virbila

Part Number: AWR1243

I am working on automating some calibration routines from within Matlab. I have created an initialization lua script and some additional lua functions which would be called during the calibration process which would change radar parameters, acquire data and write to file. These are running fine from mmWave Studio command line.

How would I go about making system call from Matlab to run these scripts with input arguments. I know how to call command line executable from Matlab but would be the command for doing such based on mmWave Studio?

Thanks, Gabriel.

Hi Gabriel,

There is a bug in the current version of mmWave Studio - you will need to replace a config file with the version in this link:
e2e.ti.com/.../mmWaveStudioConfigUpdate.7z

(This fix will be included in the next release).

After that you can follow the instructions in section 21 of the mmwave_studio_user_guide.pdf or from this thread:

Best Regards,
Anand

Thank you Anand,

I have running been mmWave Studio version 1.0.4.1. I was able to run the Matlab scripts without updating the config file. I am now able to run simple lua scripts from Matlab.

Some of my Matlab routines will be executing lua functions and waiting for them to complete. How do I return values from the lua functions back to Matlab?

Hi Gabriel,

I'm afraid there is no way to retrieve return values from the lua functions back into Matlab. You could probably do most of the function return-value processing as part of the lua script and depend on the result being available in some output text file that can be processed by Matlab.

Anand
