That is precisely what I'm saying, and precisely what timed-commands for tuning were invented. On certain hardware, after the tune is complete, a phase-reset pulse is sent by the FPGA. The only way for THAT to have the desired effect is to make sure that the phase-reset pulse happens at the same

Hi Darin - If you want to use SDRplay, you -can- do that using MacPorts via the gr-osmosdr port: with a patch that I can provide. The SDRplay folks, at least in the recent past: (1) provide only pre-combined binaries, not source code, which need to be tweaked to work for most OS X installs

I am using USRP N210 with SBX daughterboards. All devices are connected to the octoclock ref and octoclock PPS. It would be nice to get phase alignment, but mere coherence-with-an-offset is sufficient if that offset stays constant across different runs of the file/flowgraph. Are you saying that

WHat specific hardware line-up do you have? You have to use set_time_unknown_pps(), but also, if you want phase alignment (as opposed to mere coherence-with-an-offset), you need to use timed tuning commands across your systems. This will result in zero relative phase offset between boards, if

I think if you follow the install guide for Mac OS X, GR will work almost out of the box. As stated, there are cases where some dependencies fail to build or the like; just "clean" the failed dependency, try to install it directly, and it usually works. Most dependencies are a binary download now;

The windows installer from that site seems to have been linked against UHD 3.9.3, which is why the mismatch. There was no reason to have separately installed UHD, since UHD is listed as a package that is bundled into the installer. I would remove the 3.9.4 UHD you have if you plan to use Gnu
