[USRP-users] X310 Dual 200 Msps Streaming

2023-06-12 Thread Aaron Smith
Hello All, I am trying to transmit on two UBX-160 daughterboards within a single X310 at 200 Msps using UHD 4.1.0.5-3. I am experiencing periodic underflows, and I have already applied all of the tips in the "USRP Host Performance Tuning Tips and Tricks" application note, with the exception of u

[USRP-users] Time synchronization over many hours

2023-05-08 Thread Aaron Smith
Hello everyone, I am using an X310 with a UBX-160 daughter card to playback many hours of recorded samples. After a few hours, even when using a very powerful server, some underflows accumulate. This impacts the timing of data being played back. In some cases a 24 hour playback will accumulate 10

Hello, I am trying to understand the spec for the Ettus TCXO for the B200, and for GPSDOs in general. The performance when the oscillator is unlocked is clearly stated as 75 ppb. The spec says this deviation is primary driven by temperature (Frequency Stability Over Temperature = +/- 7.5e-8) Wha

Hello all, I am trying to output a sine wave from a B200 using custom code, or the UHD tx_waveform example. In either case, when I view the output on an o-scope, there is not a pure sine wave. The output looks more triangular wave. I have used this scope with other B200s and the same code to get a

se. I don't understand how the 10 MHz reference and 1 PPS input are used to synthesize time. Is the 1 PPS detection done at the master lock rate (200 MHz) or at 10 MHz? On Tue, Jun 23, 2020 at 1:06 PM Marcus D. Leech via USRP-users < usrp-users@lists.ettus.com> wrote: > On 06/23/2

Hello, I am attempting to release a transmission from an X310 every second. To accomplish this, I must measure, and calibrate the delay in the RF front end of the radio for my chosen sample rate. I'd like the transmission to be released within 1 clock cycle of the rising edge of the PPS. I am fee
