datarate measurement

[josephkirmani]

How can i measure datarate in LabVIEW. I am trying to transmit data between two USRPs and I need to measure datarate of my transmission.

Please guide,

Many thanks in advance,

Hi josephkirmani,

What networking protocol are you using to transmit the data between the URSPs? The link below has more information on the networking protocol choices.

maybe this vi could help you show sample of data for one second 

and show  the rate

Hi,

If you are looking for the effectual data transfer rate between the host and device you can place a tick count before and after a niUsrp fetch/write call and calculate the difference between the tick counts.

Average over a few hundred iterations. This will be little less than the set IQ rate because of the overhead with each write/fetch call.
