DCA1000EVM: Capturing raw data and post processing in real time ?

Part Number: DCA1000EVM
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MMWAVE-STUDIO

Hi,

Our customer(s) wants to capture raw data from DCA1000 via ethernet and, simultaneously do post processing by using matlab (or some other scripts)  in real time. I know the current DCA1000 and mmWaveStudio support only `offline mode`, i.e., capturing raw data and damp it to a specific file and then doing post processing, but do you have any solutions for such kind of request ? If any documentation or example code is available, could you please suggest ?

Best Regards,
NK

  • Currently, we have only mmWave-Studio to do capture and process the data (but offline).
    But you can do this by writing some script which reads the Ethernet interface for LVDS data (from DCA1000) and process and plot. This will have some delay as processing will take some time.
    Using Python may be faster and you will find FFT library to process the data.

    You can refer this app-not for raw data format received over LVDS

  • Jitendra, Thank you for your reply. So, you don’t have any exsisting Python script to realize this. Correct? Do you have a plan to support it in the future ? I think many users are interesting in such kind of examples. Best Regards, NK
  • Correct, we don't have like this script currently.
    But we'll surely cerebrate about adding this feature.

  • Hi Jitendra, We are eager for the script. I`ll wait for your updates in the future releases.
