# Run Config Reference
`run_config.json` is the stable runtime configuration consumed by the GUI,
Python helpers, and C++ pipeline binaries. The active file is normally
`run_config.json`; root-level `*.example.json` files are templates.
JSON does not support comments. Keep notes in docs, not inside config files.
## Top-Level Sections
```json
{
"radar": {},
"switches": {},
"run": {},
"preprocess": {},
"gpr": {},
"rings": {}
}
```
## `radar`
Selects the radar model and sweep settings.
```json
"radar": {
"model": "compact_m_k209",
"serial": "",
"remote_host": "127.0.0.1",
"remote_port": 50209,
"driver_mode": "native",
"mock_signal_hz": 5000000.0,
"multi_device": {},
"kamil_adc": {},
"laser_control": {},
"sweep": {}
}
```
Fields:
| Field | Meaning |
| --- | --- |
| `model` | `librevna`, `librevna_multi`, `compact_m_k209`, or `kamil_adc`. |
| `serial` | LibreVNA serial. Empty means first device for single LibreVNA. For `librevna_multi`, this is the master serial. |
| `remote_host` | K209 remote server host. Used by `compact_m_k209`; ignored by LibreVNA modes. |

}
```
Fields:

ifbw_hz: 1 .. 300000
power_dbm: -55 .. +5
points: 2 .. 500001
```
### `radar.multi_device`
Used only when `radar.model == "librevna_multi"`.
```json
"multi_device": {
"slave_serials": [
"SLAVE_SERIAL_1",
"SLAVE_SERIAL_2"
],
"force_external_reference": true,
"recovery_attempts": 3
}
```
Fields:
| Field | Meaning |
| --- | --- |
| `slave_serials` | Exactly two slave LibreVNA serials. |
| `force_external_reference` | Configure the synchronized external reference path. |
| `recovery_attempts` | Reopen/retry attempts after native multi-device acquisition errors. |
### `radar.kamil_adc`
Used only when `radar.model == "kamil_adc"`.
```json
"kamil_adc": {
"project_dir": "/home/europa/Documents/kamil_adc",
"executable_path": "/home/europa/Documents/kamil_adc/kamil_adc_capture",
"tty_path": "/tmp/ttyADC_data",
"args": [
"profile:phase",
"clock:internal",
"internal_ref_hz:2000000",
"mode:diff",
"channels:2",
"ch1:2",
"ch2:3",
"do1_toggle_per_frame",
"do1_pair_subtract_avg"
],
"env": {},
"startup_timeout_s": 5.0,
"sweep_timeout_s": 5.0,
"stop_timeout_s": 2.0
}
```
Fields:
| Field | Meaning |
| --- | --- |
| `project_dir` | Working directory for the external ADC collector. Required. |
| `executable_path` | Full path to the Raspberry Pi executable. Required; no filename is assumed. |
| `tty_path` | TTY stream path, for example `/tmp/ttyADC_data`. The producer appends `tty:<tty_path>`. |
| `args` | Explicit collector arguments, excluding any `tty:` argument. |
| `env` | Extra environment variables for the collector process. |
| `startup_timeout_s` | Time allowed for the collector to create a fresh TTY path. |
| `sweep_timeout_s` | Time allowed to receive one full sweep packet. |
| `stop_timeout_s` | Graceful stop timeout before killing the collector process. |
The TTY frame format is strict: packet start is `0x000A 0xFFFF 0xFFFF 0xFFFF`,
then each sweep point is `0x000A step data1 data2`. Steps must arrive as
`1..N`; `N` is derived from the stream when the next packet start arrives.
`radar.sweep.points` is not used by the Kamil ADC producer. `S21` is
`data1 + j*data2`; `S11` is stored as explicit zeros.
### `radar.laser_control`
Used with `kamil_adc` when the laser board must be configured before ADC
collection starts. `laser_control` and `kamil_adc` are one hardware
configuration unit: changing either section requires restarting acquisition.
```json
"laser_control": {
"enabled": true,
"port": "/dev/ttyUSB0",
"mode": "variation",
"pi_coeff1_p": 2560,
"pi_coeff1_i": 128,
"pi_coeff2_p": 2560,
"pi_coeff2_i": 128,
"manual": {
"temp1": 25.0,
"temp2": 25.0,
"current1": 30.0,
"current2": 30.0
},
"variation": {
"variation_type": "CHANGE_CURRENT_LD1",
"static_temp1": 28.0,
"static_temp2": 28.9,
"static_current1": 33.0,
"static_current2": 35.0,
"min_value": 33.0,
"max_value": 60.0,
"step": 0.05,
"time_step": 50,
"delay_time": 10
}
}
```
`mode="manual"` uses `manual`. `mode="variation"` uses `variation`.
`variation_type` is the enum name from `laser_control`, for example
`CHANGE_CURRENT_LD1` or `CHANGE_TEMPERATURE_LD2`.
## `switches`
Two RF switch sections are used:
```json
"switches": {
"port1": {},
"port2": {}
}
```
By convention in the C++ pipeline:
```text
port1 -> output switch
port2 -> input switch
```
Switch fields:
| Field | Meaning |
| --- | --- |
| `name` | Human-readable switch name. |
| `driver_mode` | `native` for GPIO, `mock` to avoid GPIO access. |
| `driver` | `h7992` or `hmc349a`. |
| `radar_port` | Physical radar port mapping, must be unique and either `1` or `2`. |
| `positions` | Number of switch positions. |
| `default_position` | Position selected on open. Zero-based. |
| `gpio_chip` | Linux GPIO chip path, usually `/dev/gpiochip0`. |
| `pin_a` | First GPIO control pin. |
| `pin_b` | Second GPIO control pin for `h7992`. |
| `invert_logic` | Logic inversion for supported switch drivers. |
Use mock switches on a laptop without GPIO:
```json
"driver_mode": "mock"
```
## `run`
Runtime behavior and combo selection.
```json
"run": {
"settling_ms": 0,
"idle_sleep_ms": 2,
"continuous": true,
"processing_live_config_path": "python_app/runtime/processing_live.json",
"locator_server": {},
"combos": [
{"input": 0, "output": 0}
]
}
```
Fields:
| Field | Meaning |
| --- | --- |
| `settling_ms` | Delay after switching before measuring. |
| `idle_sleep_ms` | Sleep between continuous collections. |
| `continuous` | `true` loops until stopped; `false` captures one collection and exits. |
| `processing_live_config_path` | Runtime path used by processing live settings. |
| `locator_server` | Embedded TCP server settings for publishing locator results. |
| `combos` | Zero-based switch combinations to acquire. |
`combos` entries use input/output switch positions:
```json
{"input": 2, "output": 1}
```
For `librevna_multi`, the model constraints force the canonical virtual matrix:
```text
input: 0..3
output: 0..1
```
## `run.locator_server`
Settings for the embedded locator result TCP server.
| Field | Meaning |
| --- | --- |
| `device_id` | Device identifier in locator payloads. |
| `protocol_version` | Locator payload protocol version. |
| `host` | Bind host, commonly `0.0.0.0`. |
| `port` | TCP port, commonly `8888`. |
| `max_payload_bytes` | Maximum result payload size. |
| `client_queue_size` | Per-client queue size. |
| `logger_name` | Logger name used by the service. |
## `preprocess`
Names or bundle paths for calibration/reference assets used by preprocessing.
```json
"preprocess": {
"s21": {
"calibration": {"set_name": "", "bundle_path": ""},
"reference": {"set_name": "", "bundle_path": ""}
},
"s11": {
"calibration": {
"open": {"set_name": "", "bundle_path": ""},
"short": {"set_name": "", "bundle_path": ""},
"load": {"set_name": "", "bundle_path": ""}
},
"reference": {"set_name": "", "bundle_path": ""}
},
"notch": {
"enabled": true,
"bands_hz": [],
"taper_width_hz": 40000000.0,
"taper_type": "cosine"
}
}
```
`set_name` selects a stored set for the active radar key. `bundle_path` can
point to an exported bundle. Empty values mean no asset is selected.
`notch.bands_hz` is a list of `[low_hz, high_hz]` ranges. `taper_type` is
`cosine` or `hard`.
## `gpr`
GPR geometry and processing configuration.
```json
"gpr": {
"relative_permittivity": 1.0,
"tx_geometry": [
{"output_pos": 0, "x_m": 0.905}
],
"rx_geometry": [
{"input_pos": 0, "x_m": -0.18}

```
Fields:
| Field | Meaning |
| --- | --- |
| `relative_permittivity` | Medium relative permittivity used for propagation speed. |
| `tx_geometry` | Transmitter positions keyed by output switch position. |
| `rx_geometry` | Receiver positions keyed by input switch position. |
Geometry positions must match configured switch positions. For example, an
`output_pos` of `1` requires the output switch to have at least 2 positions.
## `rings`

```json
"rings": {
"raw": {"name": "/radar_raw", "capacity": 50, "slot_size_bytes": 2097152},

"preprocessed_tap": {"name": "/radar_preprocessed_tap", "capacity": 50, "slot_size_bytes": 2097152},
"results": {"name": "/radar_results", "capacity": 50, "slot_size_bytes": 2097152}
}
```
Fields:
| Field | Meaning |
| --- | --- |
| `name` | POSIX shared-memory object name. |
| `capacity` | Number of slots. |
| `slot_size_bytes` | Maximum serialized payload size per slot. |
Use unique ring names for parallel tests to avoid collisions with a running GUI
session.
