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?
Regards,
Ah! You have a misunderstanding about what I mean by "timed commands".
See the "test_timed_commands" example in the source code tree.
See also the documentation here:
https://files.ettus.com/manual/page_sync.html
Basically, you need to make sure that all the devices agree on what time
it is (if you have only one device, this is "easy"). Once you have that,
THEN, you need to make sure that all the RF synthesizer tuning
happens at precisely the same instant, so that the re-synch feature
(if the device has one) can be triggered at exactly the same time.
Without that, the synthesizers are free to "lock" at any phase-angle
with respect to the reference clock, and further the reference
divider in a synthesizer is guaranteed to be in the same state across
all synthesizers, even when they're using the same
reference clock. This is what the "resynch" hardware signal is all
about, and what the set_command_time()/clear_command_time()
API is all about.
