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?

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. https://github.com/EttusResearch/uhd/blob/maint/host/examples/test_pps_input.cpp#L68 Are you trying to achieve phase synchronization?

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?
