New USRP B200 & B210,Labview support ?

[FlorianS]

Hi all,

I tried to increase the transmit gain of my B210s with the niUSRP Write Tx Data (poly) VI, but it works only up to ~35dB / 40dB gain, after that it gets kind of stucked.

Since the B210 is still not officially supported, is there a way to get the transmit gain up to 60dB (and more)?

Attached a file with graphs of 3 different boards. I used 80dB attenuation in line

Appreciate help!

Cheers

Thought I would push this topic back to the top of the board.  Looking at the posts over the past 4-5 years, it looks like the NI USRP driver does now support the B-series devices, but maybe not its USB driver?  It's hard to tell from the posts.  The driver docs definitely don't list the B-series as "officially supported".

Can someone from NI give an update on where things stand with this these days?

I am using the NI-USRP Library and it works fairly well as long as you use the configuration utility to detect and then rename the board. After that copy or type the new name into the USRP vi and it will communicate. I can get coherent signals from the Transmit but not coherent signal input from the 2 receive channels. I also know that Matlab drivers cannot output coherent transmit signals as yet. 

The biggest problem is the lack of support for multiple (8 B210's), they can't all run together to grab data simultaneous.

I would love to hear if there is more ways to do this if anyone has a solution.

cheers

Can you tell me what name should I change the B210 to in the USRP Configuration Utility? I have been trying to set it up on labview but find no luck
