Thanks for the suggestion Marcus.

I tried adjusting those settings by using the following command:

uhd_usrp_probe --args="serial=123456, recv_frame_size=4096,num_recv_frames=4096"
The 123456 is replaced with the actual serial number of the usrp1 when I run 
the command.  


When I run that command it shows the USRP1 configuration settings and the 
daughtercard and then at the bottom it says "Segmentation fault (core dumped)". 
 This happens with other values of recv_frame_size and num_recv_frames.  Does 
anyone know what I'm doing wrong or is this even the right way to change those 
settings?

What are the default values in case I need to set them back to what they were?  
I couldn't find this anywhere in the UHD documentation.

Thank you, - Tom

Subject: Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] USRP1 4 Channel Subdev Issue
 

I tried the suggestion from Marcus and was able to get the USRP1 to work with 4 
real channels.  I have a simple GRC script which  samples the USRP at 1MS/s and 
then resamples the signal to 500kS/s and then writes to a file.  I am getting 
continuous Overruns with this GRC script on my laptop.

>I have the same GRC script with the older GNURadio and when I
        ran it again on the same laptop (I booted up a prior version of
        ubuntu with an older gnuradio version that uses the USRP class
        not UHD) it writes to file with no Overruns at all.  I saw that
        the custom quad channel USRP block has an fusb_block and
        fusb_nblocks setting.  These are both set to 512*32 but if I
        lower them to something like 64*32 I start to see the Overruns.

>Are there similar type settings I can adjust on the 3.6.2
        version of GRC or GNURadio python scripts to get rid of the
        overruns?  I'm not sure if this is possible but I would like to
        not have to boot into an older ubuntu version when I need 4 real
        channels.  The only thing that comes to mind is to adjust
        noutput_items and I tried this but it didn't eliminate the
        overruns.
