[USRP-users] USB 3.0 PCI express card recommendations?

2019-04-30 Thread Brais Ares via USRP-users
Hi, I'd like to use a high sample rate with a B210 device but I'm limited by my host computer, as it has only USB 2.0 interfaces. The cheapest solution would be to install a USB 3.0 PCI express card, but I found some old thread (2013) where an user experienced some problems (thread link

I also happen to have some spare B200 devices around and I can confirm what @Martin stated. Since we are working in a jitter-sensitive critical application and after the tests I've perfomed, I'm inclined to think the minimum jitter scenario occurs when using the internal reference (2 ppm), given

Thanks Sam! If I understand correctly the link that you refer to, it is possible to obtain time and phase synchronization with B210s, so the only issue would be to compensate phase offset which could be done by software. Could you elaborate a little bit more? I'm probably missunderstading the
