AWR1843BOOST: beamsteering lab, is there a better way to show the radar detection than MRRvisualization GUI?

Part Number: AWR1843BOOST
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AWR1843

Hi, I would like to configure different subframes in my AWR1843 board, so, what is the best way to know if my parameters are correct and I am detecting in the range and resolution I want?, the matlab MRRvisualization GUI or is there another app to achieve this?, and should I configure the matlab files of the GUI according to my config in CCS or are these idependent files?, my query is because this lab has some known issues like USRR and MRR modes not working but I don`t know if it is a CCS issue or the limitation is the matlab GUI

Thanks

  • Hello Jairo,

    In case of any wrong parameters to the application even via GUI, application should return error code or goes to ASSERT.

    You can connect to device via CCS and check the application status to find if it has gone into some error.

    Connect CCS to MSS or DSS core, load the application image symbol files (MSS: *.xer4f, DSS: *xe67x files).

  • Ok, but the GUI of matlab is the best tool to test my config or there are another tools avaiable to do this tests?

  • If you want to verify if all the configuration parameters are applied to device : refere above reply.

    If you need to verify if device is giving right set of result based on changed configuration parameters then you can verify using Matlab script on the received data from the device. And device's DSP generates this object result data.

  • Hello Jairo,

    GUI displays the object data received from the device, changing the device configuration of device won't require any GUI change.

    So to change some device configuration (like profile, chirp etc.) you need to change within the application (CCS), recompile and flash.

    But say if you want to change some GUI settings like teaks in display of different plots then you need to change the Matlab script.
