Hi Marcus and all,

The X310 has three leds in the front panel (among others):
REF, PPS, GPS
When I turn on the USRP none of them is lit.
When I execute "uhd_usrp_probe" from the terminal the the REF lights up and
the PPS starts blinking.
What is the meaning of this? (I am not connected to any REF source ...)

thanks
Achilleas
