ah perfect! Re: post modifications If you like GRC code generation, you will love Python snippets, which allow for code insertion in the generated GRC file for exactly these kinds of things. On 23.07.20 15:50, Marcus D. Leech via USRP-users wrote: > On 07/23/2020 06:13 AM, Marcus Müller via USRP-

I also just realized that you can be relly silly. If you have a transistor and two resistors to spare, use the GPIO front panel connector to generate a faux-PPS pulse, buffer it using the transistor, and feed it back to the backpanel PPS input... might save you the extra device, but of course t

Hi Marcus, I tried to improve the situation. I had another look at [0,1]. From [1] (N310 manual) "[..] which can both be used as time- and clock references. The GPSDO will function as a reference even when there is no GPS reception." This helps. I set Sync: "Unknown PPS" Clock/Time source: "O

Hi Marcus, thanks for your prompt answer. I don't have a PPS signal readily available. Would a 10MHz reference suffice as well? Do I get rid of this issue if I use a GPSDO? We have the hardware (antennas + modules) available but no GPS signal in our lab. Besides, I was really hoping that o

Hi all, I have an issue with multiple USRP streams. If they are on separate daughterboards, but on the same motherboard aka USRP, those streams are not time aligned. They show a time offset of more than 10us. I use one USRP source block in GNU Radio and configure it with multiple streams. At
