Hi John,

I've matched your configuration, with a N210 with GPSDO as master, and a
N210 slave connected via a MIMO cable. I was able to create a pair of
synced streams with the flowgraph attached without issue. Can you give it a
try? Otherwise email us at supp...@ettus.com and we can follow up there.

Regards,
Nate Temple
