Christian,

you did not mention what version of UHD you are using, so I assume you use 
something recent. UHD has a replay block that is shipped with the default 
images (if the USRP has sufficient resources), see here: 
https://kb.ettus.com/Using_the_RFNoC_Replay_Block_in_UHD_4. So your X300 is 
able to do it.

The replay block always manages all the memory, and you are free to divide the 
available memory into portions for different tasks. So you could split it in 
half, download two TX signals to each half and then play one to each radio. 
Beside the good introduction linked above, you might also want to take a look 
at the Python TX waveform example 
https://github.com/EttusResearch/uhd/blob/master/host/examples/python/tx_waveforms.py.
 This example (with the -dram option) contains most of what you need. The 
necessary extension would be to download two signals and do two play calls to 
play each signal to one of the radios. You might want to  use a timed command 
here to ensure both signals start at the same time.

Regards

Lars

Subject: [USRP-users] Transmitting on both X300 channels without streaming 
samples

You don't often get email from christian.chap...@ll.mit.edu. Learn why this is 
important<https://aka.ms/LearnAboutSenderIdentification>

Hi, I'm interested in using an X300 to repeat several 100 ms of >100 MHz 
samples, a different signal on both channels, and my host computer can't stream 
samples into the X300 continuously.

It would seem the RFNoC replay block could serve this need, but according to a 
thread from Thomas Harder on a very similar question[1] some firmware change is 
required.

Thomas seems to have settled on the approach I can't use: his samples are 
streamed continuously via 10G Ethernet.

If I understand properly, Rob Kossler's txarb block can serve this need, but I 
can't find it published it anywhere. Do I have to recreate something similar to 
do what I need?

More broadly, has anyone done this and/or have simpler solutions appeared in 
the last few years?

Thank you,
