I have had success streaming from a B210 (2 channel RX, 16-bit, 25MS/s) to
a RAM disk.  I have also had success writing smaller files to the RAM disk
(maybe a second or two of data) and then moving those files in a separate
background process to an SSD.  By pulling data out of the RAM drive at a
rate that is slightly less than data flows in, I can capture for a longer
total duration.  The performance would depend greatly on the speed at which
your host can move data from RAM to disk, but by changing the size of the
temporary files in RAM you should be able to extend your capture duration
significantly.

I can also recommend doing two things:

1. Multi-thread your receiver, so that the thread calling recv() isn't
blocked for the duration of write()ing things to storage. Also, now
you're not inherently pushing one core to a high clock speed. The
rx_samples_to_file example is really really really just an example of
how to set up a multi_usrp object, get the rx_streamer and call recv(),
nothing to use as reference when building high-rate receivers.

2. Using something with a large buffering when writing to storage, as
storage rates and latencies are totally unpredictable.

In fact, using GNU Radio you can get both at once: Just connect your
USRP source to a file sink. GNU Radio blocks run each in their own
thread, and the output/input connection is actually a ring buffer; you
can increase the size of that in the "advanced" tab of the USRP source,
by increasing the minimum output buffer size to something relatively
large; I tend to use values 512*2**20 (==512MB) because RAM is cheap :)

If you don't want to use GNU Radio, I can dig up a rather naively
implemented multi-thread-receiver that I wrote a while ago. It worked
pretty well at high rates, and does nothing but allocate a bunch of
"samples_per_packet*bytes_per_sample" sized buffers, puts them in a
"ready to use" queue, let's a thread running recv() fill them one by
one, push them into a "ready to write" queue, from which a storage IO
thread takes them and writes their content to a file, then pushes them
back to the "ready to use" queue. The design was really bad (buffers
aren't inherently allocated contiguously in memory, so we're potentially
losing memory bandwidth unnecessarily), but using enough buffers, one
can completely hide the fact that storage is highly non-deterministic
and that handling storage IO might interfere with the amount of CPU the
OS has available for handling USB traffic.

Best regards,

Marcus

Hello,

I am trying to run the FM receiver example (from youtube) and I get  
the following errors:

"Win32; Microsoft Visual C++ version 14.0; Boost_106000;  
UHD_003.009.003-0-unknown" - But I am using UHD_003.009.004.

The fact that the header indicates 003.009.003 means that you're
actually running 003.009.003, if you installed 3.9.4, it's likely in a
place outside your %PATH%. 

The 'can't open file' error is coming from Gnu Radio, not UHD.  My
suspicion is that it's trying to open a file that it cannot open on
Windows, or is specified wrongly.  Not all of the examples are 100%
portable. 

The communications error is of more concern.  What type of Ethernet card
do you have on your system?  What is your network setup between your
computer and the X300?

Hi,

@"The communications error is of more concern.  What type of Ethernet  
card do you have on your system?  What is your network setup between  
your computer and the X300?"
  --- I am using NI USRP 2943-R which I found in the einternet as  
X310. Therefore I flashed usrp_x310_fpga_HGS.lvbitx image to the  
device. I am using PCI Express for communication using MXI Express  
cable as a result I havenot set any network setup for the same.
Please guide me what to do.

Regards,
Sanat

Not sure why you're getting the communication failtures, but your device
appears, from the uhd_usrp_probe output to be functioning correctly. 

I suspect that your Gnu Radio installed was linked against UHD 3.9.3,
which is why the apparent version mismatch, because clearly, your
uhd_usrp_probe is linked against the newer library. 

How did you install Gnu Radio?  This part of the discussion should
probably be continued on the discuss-gnuradio mailing list.

Subject: [USRP-users] Create Congestion in RFNOC Simulation Model
Message-ID: <[email protected]>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

Hi, 

 

I've created a noc block that transmits sample data onto the NOC. I'd like
to test my state machine properly interacts with s_axis_data_tready signal
(from the noc block axi_wrapper module). However, it appears that there is
not enough activity on the NOC to cause the s_axis_data_tready to fall (its
always asserted). Is there an easy way to cause some artificial congestion
in the so I can test my state machine?
