The timed commands are as follows in rx_multisamples.cpp
if(sync=="now"){
//This is not a true time lock, the devices will be off by a few RTT.
//Rather, this is just to allow for demonstration of the code below.
usrp->set_time_now(uhd::time_spec_t(0.0));
}
else if (sync == "pps"){
usrp->set_time_source("external");
usrp->set_time_unknown_pps(uhd::time_spec_t(0.0));
boost::this_thread::sleep(boost::posix_time::seconds(1)); //wait for
pps sync pulse
}
else if (sync == "mimo"){
UHD_ASSERT_THROW(usrp->get_num_mboards() == 2);
//make mboard 1 a slave over the MIMO Cable
usrp->set_clock_source("mimo", 1);
usrp->set_time_source("mimo", 1);
//set time on the master (mboard 0)
usrp->set_time_now(uhd::time_spec_t(0.0), 0);
//sleep a bit while the slave locks its time to the master
boost::this_thread::sleep(boost::posix_time::milliseconds(100));
}
1. "now", 2 ."pps" and 3. "mimo"
I was using "now" but still I don't get same phase difference in each run. Is
there any other time command that I have to use or what do I have to set?

Sorry I meant 2954 R. Does it also have LO sharing or that is not required in
that?
Regards,
That model is based on the UBX transceiver card, which doesn't have LO sharing,
but using timed commands can cause the two
synthesizers to come into phase alignment.

Do you mean the reference clock on the board? They all share that, but each
channel has its own LO synthesizer.
I'm not familiar with the 2964R, so can't personally comment on it.
You can achieve 4-channel phase coherence with the TwinRx--see the APP Note

Are RX1 and RX2 of RF0 controlled by same master oscillator? Will connecting
two antennas to RX1 and RX2 of RF0, rather than to RX1 of RF0 and to RX1 of
RF1, give same phase difference between these two channels at every run?
All channels have their own LO.
The TwinRx has LO sharing mode.

Hi,
I am using USRP 2955 R and I have connected an antenna to one end of a two
channel splitter and connected the other two ports of the splitter to the two
RX1 pors of USRP. I am getting different phase difference in each run of USRP
though in one particular run the phase difference is constant for all channels.
The tuned frequency is 2.4 GHz and sampling rate is 1 MSps so as expected that
channel phase differences are almost same. But when I stop acquiring data and
restart it using gnuradio or the API, then I am getting again a new value of
phase difference across all channels, which is again same across channels. Is
USRP so unstable that it gives different value of phase difference for each run
for the same frequency, and sampling rate? The setup in the runs are also the
same.

This isn't about "instability". It's about the way PLL synthesizers work, and
the fact that by default each channel is using its own synthesizer.
There are a few things that need to happen:
All the channels you're receiving need to be in the same multi_usrp block,
which, among other things, is a conceptual "synchronization domain".
Use timed-commands for tuning (which is a bit awkward to arrange in Gnu
Radio, you'll have to modify the generated code). This will arrange
for the synthesizers to be given a "resynch" signal at exactly the same time.
OR
Use the "shared LO" features of the TwinRX cards that are on the 2955.
See the knowledge-base document on the TwinRX and phase-synchronization here:
