Dear engineers, when I reading the AWR2243 radar echo data, the code understanding is not deep enough, please help to answer, thank you .
The code path of the cascade radar to read data is: ~:\ti\mmwave_studio_03_00_00_14\mmWaveStudio\MatlabExamples\4chip_cascade_MIMO_example\utils\dataParse\read_ADC_bin_TDA2_separateFiles
What are the parameters frameIdx and numLoops?% Copyright (C) 2018 Texas Instruments Incorporated - http://www.ti.com/
