C radar system interface

The C radar system interface defines a set of APIs that help user access a serial communication port and
communicate with the radar-defined endpoints, enabling the user to demonstrate the capabilities of the 24
GHz modules.
Please refer to the Firmware_Software/Communication Library/ComLib_C_Interface/documentation for
more details about the set of control parameters and methods that can be used to control the 24 GHz radar
board using C communication library.
It is worth noting that the radar C communication library implements the API to access a serial communication
port for Windows (COMPort_Windows.c), and Mac OS and Linux (COMPort_Unix.c) platforms.
Note: The C radar system interface is only supported within the Radar Distance2Go, Radar Position2Go
and Radar Sense2GoL Pulse and Radar Distance2GoL radar software packages.
A coding example to interface with the 24 GHz radar board using C communication library, and to extract raw
data, is available (refer to the extract_raw_data.c file). In order to run this coding example, proceed as follows:
Go to the /Firmware_Software/Communication Library/ComLib_C_Interface/examples folder and copy
•
the path.
Open your appropriate C compiler, then create a C project.
•
Import the extract_raw_data.c file, all source *.c files under /ComLib_C_Interface/src and also all header
•
*.h files under /ComLib_C_Interface/include.
Ensure that your 24 GHz radar board is connected, then Compile and Run your project to see the raw data.
•
Figure 34 shows the example running on Visual Studio, extracting raw data from a DEMO DISTANCE2GO radar
board.
