Introduction

The Colossus net record playback tool is for recording and playing back network data generated from a radar.

On this page:

Recording Radar Data

Initiating data recording

  1. Open a windows command prompt, and navigate to the directory containing the Colossus net record playback tool (ColossusNetRecordPlayback.exe).

  2. Type in the executable name, followed by the verb “record” the -i flag, and then specify the I.P address of the radar you wish to record data from.

    ColossusNetRecordPlayback.exe record -i 10.77.2.211

  3. Press enter, you will see the radar data recording begin.

If the folder contains multiple files, they will be played in order, one after the other, starting from the selected file name.

Other useful flags for recording:

Use flag -f followed by a space and a string to assign a prefix to the recording filename, default is “Radar”. Example: -f HDR200

use flag -m followed by a space and an integer to set a maximum file size for recording (in bytes), default is ~2GB. Example: -m 10000000

use flag -c followed by a space and a boolean to enable use of compression while recording, default is false. Example: -c true

use flag -s followed by a space and a boolean to force usage of simplified filenames, default is false. Example: -s true

Monitoring data recording

Radar data recording will continue while the bottom most line in the command prompt window is displaying a filename.

If the maximum file size for the radar data capture has been reached, recording will continue in a new file.

Stopping data recording

  1. To stop recording, press ctrl and c simultaneously, while the command prompt window is selected.

  2. You can verify recording has stopped when the command prompt returns to its rest state.

Playing Back Radar Data

Initiating playback

  1. Open a windows command prompt, and navigate to the directory containing the Colossus net record playback tool (ColossusNetRecordPlayback.exe).

  2. Type in the executable name, followed by the verb “playback” the -f flag, and then specify the filepath and filename you wish to play back.

    ColossusNetRecordPlayback.exe playback -f C:\Local\Development\Tungsten\sdk\bin\Debug\2019\10\24\Radar_1_20191024090305094_CFDFE8.colraw

  3. Press enter, you will see the program waiting for a client to connect and view the radar data.

Monitoring playback

  1. To monitor the radar data playback, open a tool such as RadarView-Lite.

  2. In the menu, click “Channel-A”, followed by source.

  3. In the pop up dialogue that appears, change the I.P address to localhost (127.0.0.1), and press OK.

  4. You should now see the radar data playing back from the file, looking similar to the following.

Stopping playback

  1. To stop playback, press ctrl and c simultaneously, while the command prompt window is selected.

  2. You can verify recording has stopped when the command prompt returns to its rest state.

Other useful flags for playback:

Use flag -l followed by a space and an integer to enable the file playback to loop, default is 0 - loop forever. Example: -l 2
