AWR2243: Question about the command when using Cascade_Configuration_MIMO.lua in mmwave studio 3.0.0.14

Part Number: AWR2243

Hi,

After running Cascade_Configuration_MIMO.lua in mmwave studio 3.0.0.14, a trace folder (e.g. Trace_06_01_2021) will be generated at mmwave_studio_03_00_00_14\mmWaveStudio\RunTime. In this trace folder, customer found some info in the trace_x.txt and have one question.

Below is one part of trace info in the trace_x.txt.

[21:11:41:373]: Device [2] [WR]0xA5C8 0x0023 0x0000 0x0026 0x1004 0x0000 0x0000 0x1234 0x4321 0x8345 0x0016 0x8000 0x0000 0x0001 0xFCA2 0x41A0 0x0008 0xE218 0xFFFF 0xECC9 0x9864

Based on the info in mmWave-Radar-Interface-Control.pdf in DFP package, we can get below info from above trace info.

0x1234 0x4321 means a new command.

0x8345 opcode: direction(bit 3~0):0101 -> Communication between Host to Master
               MSGTYPE (message type)(bit 5~4): 00 -> COMMAND
               MSGID (message ID)(bit 15~6):0x20D -> RESERVED
length:0x16
Flags:0x8000
REMCHUNKS : 0x0000
NSBC: 0x0001, Number of sub blocks in the message = 1
CHKSUM: 0xFCA2
Message Data:
SBLKID: 0x41A0
SBLKLEN: 0x0008

But customer can't found SBLKID: 0x41A0 in mmWave-Radar-Interface-Control.pdf and message ID 0x20D is reserved in the doc.

What's this command (SBLKID: 0x41A0) for? 

Is this command a MUST for AWR2243 operation? Customer didn't find this command in the mmWaveLink_Cascade_Example in DFP package.
