USRP Execution Speed

[mike1234567890]

Does anybody know how fast the USRPs can execute tasks like tune to a different frequency or read/write to GPIO pins when controlled by LabVIEW? Thanks.

Hi mike1234567890,

What USRP model are you using or looking to use?

[mike1234567890]

We have N210s with WBX daughterboards. LabVIEW works fine accessing the pins on the WBX granddaughterboard but I'd like to switch outputs to them as quickly as possible.

Hi mike1234567890,

The USRP N210 with the WBX board does not look like a combination I am familiar with.  I would recommend emailing Ettus support (the people who make the USRP/board combo) at support@ettus.com. They would be able to give you more detailed information and specifications like that.

I bet the Ettus USRP N210 is essentially the same hardware as the NI-USRP 2920 or 2930. They have the same specs from what I can tell. The NI-USRP blocks all work with my N210. So do you know how fast the NI-USRP 2920 or 2930 can switch GPIO outputs or if not that, then retune the LO to a different frequency?

Hi mike1234567890,

I am looking to see if that is something we spec. It is not in the normal documentation, so it will take a little more digging.
