Hi Zhihong, 4ae7a6015ba719a4720f61cc6f3857de2ebda89f is the commit hash that refers to a specific commit on the GNU Radio repository. If you built GNU Radio recently (I believe this commit was last August), then you should be OK. -Trip On Wed, Feb 10, 2016 at 6:42 PM, Zhihong Luo wrote: > Hi

What was the whole command that you used to identify the USRP by serial number? It should look like: uhd_usrp_probe --args="serial=xx" You shouldn't need it if you are using only a single USRP though. You still get the same error in GRC when you add the type to device arguments? Can you doub

Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Problem with USRP B200

Hello, Do you have multiple USRP's hooked up? If so, try only having one plugged in for this initial test. You can provide a device hint in the arguments of the UHD source block. Try: "type=b200" As another test, make sure you can use the built in utilities of UHD to detect your USRP. uhd_usrp

Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] power amplifiers on TX

Hi Daniel, The output power of the USRP is controlled by the TX gain setting. Keep in mind that the output power of the USRP is not calibrated and will vary from device to device. Some may have higher output power than others. Isolation between the transmit and receive sections of the USRP is a p

Hi Ekko, The sample rate has to be some fraction of the clock rate divided by an integer. The clock rate on the E310 defaults to 32MHz I believe, so 32MHz divided by 4 gives you 8 Msps. The system will get you as close as it can to the desired sample rate. You can set the clock rate to something e

Hi Ash, Yes, you need to use an attenuator if you are connecting the B200's directly together with a cable. I would recommend at least 30dB of attenuation, but that depends on your settings. It is recommended that you do not input more that -15 dBm into the receiver of the B200, as this can damage
