Hi Oliver, I don't have any example code to provide (and I don't use gnuradio), but I can address a couple of things: - the first step is to get all four channels recognized (as you indicated); perhaps using subdev spec "A:0 A:1 B:0 B:1" - synchronizing in time is definitely possible. From

[USRP-users] RFNoC 4 metadata

2021-03-10 Thread Rob Kossler via USRP-users
Hi, I just modified one of my RFNoC blocks to use metadata for the first time. The following remarks identify issues I encountered along the way and some suggestions that would make things a bit easier. - You can't use axis_data (with sideband signals) if you want access to metadata. While

You’ll need to familiarize yourself with this https://files.ettus.com/manual/page_gpio_api.html You should be able to tie a GPIO pin to the ATR state machine in the FPGA to drive a GPIO output signal. Sent from my iPhone > On Mar 10, 2021, at 2:23 PM, SungWon Chung via USRP-users >

Hello, I'm working to use X300/X310 as a front-end of a custom built 60GHz mm-wave transceiver, which needs a digital signal for its TX/RX switch to share a horn antenna. What do you think is the best solution? Any methods are welcome as long as it's a robust solution. Your thoughts will be

[USRP-users] X310 with dual TwinRX set up

2021-03-10 Thread Oliver Towlson via USRP-users
Hi I am trying to set up an X310 with 2 TwinRX boards such that: - each RF channel may be tuned to a different GNSS L-band frequency - all four RF channels may be synchronised in time - data streaming on all four channels at 100 MS/s (we are using dual 10G Ethernet for this) I'm pretty much a

Brian, I've seen this using UHD-3.14 and UHD-3.15.LTS. I have performed some follow-on testing that raises more questions, particularly about the usage of end_of_burst and start_of_burst. I talk through my tests and observations below; the questions that these generated are at the end ... I

Hi Jules, Thank you, I will try it and let you know as soon as possible. By the way, I have checked the python generated using the UHD USRP SOURCE block (instead of the RFNoC radio block) with AGC active and it generates the set of AGC fine. So, as you said, it is fixed in gr-uhd but it might

Maria, So, if I understand correctly, I have to put there also something like "self.ettus_rfnoc_rx_radio_0.set_rx_agc(enable,0)" isn't it? Exactly! Take a look at [1] for the correct syntax. [1]

Hi Julian, Thanks for the quick answer. I think you might be right about the possible bug turning on the AGC from GRC. I have checked the flow graph generated and there's no set_rx_agc enable option (I checked the c++ definition block where this option did appear but I hadn't look at the python

Maria, I might not be the right person to answer this, as my experience with UHD 4.0 is relatively limited at the moment. However, I cant tell you that the AGC on B2x0 devices is controlled via software (using set_rx_agc()). There is no need to directly modify the state of any pins of the
