3.3.1 Motion and Presence Detection Demonstration Setup

Use the following setup procedures for the motion and presence detection example demonstration:

  1. Clamp this radar module on a tripod. The height is 1.8m from the ground, and there is no downward tilt: 0 degree.

  3. Run the Visualizer GUI software from mmWave-Radar Toolbox on a PC and start the demonstration. Click the button with the four steps shown in Figure 3-11. The GUI configuration file in step 2 is from mmWave-SDK. The GUI configuration file folder is:
    Radar Toolbox installed directory
\examples\mmw_demo\motion_and_presence_detection\profiles\xwrL64xx-aop\PresenceDetect.cfg
