Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Time Granularity of USRP N2XX

Hi Harry - Actually, the name `tick_rate` is somewhat confusing. The tick_rate refers to the clock rate that the DSP chain runs at. Here is a bit of code regarding the tick_rate from the USRP2 / N-Series implementation that might make things a little more clear: _tree->create(mb_path / "t

Dear Marcus, Thank you for your reply. I'm confused about two concepts. Referring to the file time_spec.hpp in UHD, fractional sec is calculated according to the parameter ticks and tick_rate. So I think the time granularity is '1/tick_rate' which is 0.1us using 10Mhz clock. But for t

Hi Harry, as far as I know, the granularity of a time stamp is the sample duration at the downsampled side. As for the 10MHz: The 10MHz clock is used to derive different other clocks, especially the rx ADC and tx DAC clocks, which are an order of magnitude higher; bear in mind that when you re
