if I have two (or more) usrp2s, and I do a set_time_next_pps(), there is (or is
there?) a chance
that the pps could occur after the first call, so the second call will
set the second usrp a second later. I would need to know when there is a pps or
seconds transition prior to setup, then have one or two seconds
to call set_time_next_pps(). Ok, I could read the system time, but I
would need a gps with pps/ref out, and sync'd using ntpd or gpsd, and
this may not be guaranteed. Or I could just monitor the pps level via
the serial port (DCD, like ntpd does with nmea stream) to guarantee when the
seconds tick over. If the pps state could be read back from the
usrp (approx 80ns rtt) however, this would simplify the system and
hardware requied (USB dongle, TTL to RS232 convertor, extra wires,
etc...). So...
while (get_pps_level() == 0); // wait for edge
while (get_pps_level() == 1);
u1->set_time_next_pps(...); // We are guaranteed at least one second to issue
this to both usrp at
once
u2->set_time_next_pps(...);
Thanks
David
