Hallo,
I'm still working on the issue described by Johannes in
http://old.nabble.com/Locking-USRP2-to-external-10MHz-reference-in-the-UHD-GRC-universe-tt29507892.html#a29543130
.
Here is my setup: I try to synchronise two USRP2 devices using an
external reference clock and pps-signal. The flowgraph is created with
grc and is currently using the following blocks:
The two outputs of an uhd_mimo_source are each split up in real part
and imaginary part using gr_complex_to_real and gr_complex_to_imag and
then saved to files using gr_file_sink. So i get all in all 4 files
with data type float. Each two files that belong together are
recomposed in matlab so that i get again complex data. The reason why
the source output is split up anyway is that I get better result that
way when I'm checking if the sources were synchronised. First I
directly saved complex data with the filesinks with much worse
results.
To check whether the USRP2s were synchronised I have a matlab script
which executes a cross correlation of the two files composed earlier
in matlab. And that's where I'm stuck. In round about 50% of my tries
everything works perfect and I get the result that the usrp2s were
synchronised. But without changing anything of the setup the test
fails in other runs.
If I interpret the output while running the flow graph correctly the
usrp2 should be synchronised:
When the pps-Signal is connected to both devices I get
Set time with unknown pps edge:
1) set times next pps (race condition)
2) catch seconds rollover at pps edge
3) set times next pps (synchronously)
When the pps-signal is connected only to one device I get
Set time with unknown pps edge:
1) set times next pps (race condition)
2) catch seconds rollover at pps edge
3) set times next pps (synchronously)
Warning:
Detected time deviation between board 1 and board 0.
Board 0 time is 33.938985 seconds.
Board 1 time is 0.940063 seconds.
So the usrp2 should be synchronously when the pps is connected.
Have you any idea how I can improve my results?
OS: Ubuntu 10.04
Daughterboards: XCVR2450
Kind regards,
Thorsten
