IWR1443BOOST: DCA1000EVM---adc_data_Raw_0.bin size differs

Part Number: IWR1443BOOST
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: IWR1443, DCA1000EVM

Hello

I am currently using IWR1443 with DCA1000evm to collect raw data from Ethernet port. I was trying to control mmwave studio by matlab script which originated from mmwave studio user guide. However, the file ``adc_data_Raw_0.bin`` that I obtained using lua script is different from the same binary file that I obtained through clicking buttons of mmwave studio manually. Here, I upload the snapshot and the lua script.

Fig.1 binary file that I obtained through clicking buttons of mmwave studio

Fig.2 binary file that I obtained using lua script

It can be seen that the file size in Fig.1 is about 64KB while the size in Fig.2 is 65KB.

Then error info appears if I run packetrecordzerofill.exe to adc_data_Raw_0.bin of Fig.2.

For binary file of Fig.1, packetrecordzerofill.exe works fine.

I would like to know if there is any mistake on my lua script.

Thank you.

Xu,

I ran your script and i was not able to reproduce the error, can you attach both log files for the captures?

Hi, Alex

Thank you for your quick reply. I double check my script and I found that the file of 64KB is produced by clicking “ARM” and “Trigger Frame” button after I run my lua script using Matlab. Probably this is not the proper order to collect data. On the contrary the file of 65KB works fine with packetrecordzerofill.exe. Anyway I uploaded the log file for reference. Thank you for taking you time on my script.

Then I have one more problem where I had spent lot of time. I would like to repeat the process of data collection thousands of times. Rather than one whole record, I prefer a single record corresponding to one single collection process. However, if I use "for-loop" command in Matlab to repeat “Trigger Frame” command via lua script, mmwave studio will suddenly collapse after the first few loops. Could you help me figure it out at your convenience?

Thank you and have a nice day.
