Hello –

Yes I am trying to achieve phase synchronization.  So once I set the time 
source using the function call if (not time_source.empty()) 
usrp->set_time_source(time_source);, will time and frequency for the two USRPs 
be aligned?  Also, is it true that the USRP E310/E312 cannot use a 10 MHz ref 
clock or can I just set the time source using the 10MHz reference instead of 
the 1PPs?

Thanks

Hello,
To get time and frequency alignment on a pair of E31xs you can supply the 1PPS 
to both units. The example programs do not all support setting the time source.
http://files.ettus.com/manual/page_usrp_e3x0.html#e3x0_hw_sync
Here is an example which supports setting the time source, you can modify other 
examples based on this.

Are you trying to achieve phase synchronization?
Regards,
Derek

Hello –

I have 2 USRPs (both E310/E312) which I want to sync up using an external 
clock.  I read that the embedded series cannot take in a 10MHz reference clock 
but can take in a 1PPS.  I generated a 1 PPS signal using a signal generator 
and using a power splitter, I sent the 1PPS signal to both USRPs via the sync 
port on the USRPs.  When I try to run an example programs (rx_samples_to_file 
on one USRP and tx_samples_from_file on the other USRP) using the ref argument, 
it says that the ref argument is not supported.   How can I sync up the two 
USRPs?

Thanks
