3.3.1 XWRL6432AOP Demo Visualization Getting Started

Please follow the below step by step procedure for running the OOB demo.

  1. Connect the EVM to the PC via USB.
  2. Open the mmWave Visualizer inside mmWave-L-SDK tool and select the device. Check the SOP settings for Section 2.2.1.
  3. Navigate to Configuration Dashboard tab of the visualizer. Wait for AUTO detection of COM ports (else press refresh). Alternatively, manually select device COM port (if not already selected). Select preset configuration under Configuration Selection drop-down. Similar to that shown in Figure 4-30.
  4. Click on Send Config to Device.
  5. After configurations are successfully sent, the Plots tab displays range plot via radar point cloud information. Similar to that shown in Figure 4-4.

See how to get started with xWRLx432 mmWave radar sensors with this step-by-step tutorial on running the out-of-box demo and visualizing the output. Please refer to Out-of-box demo tutorial for xWRL6432AOP evaluation modules.
