I am trying to synchronize 5 USRP2 boards and receive data. It works when I choose 'Now' in 'apply timestamp' of 'niUSRP Set Time'. However, when I switch to 'Next Timebase Edge', why doesn't it work? It always comes to be the errer of 'A stream command was issued in the past'. Is it caused by hardware or software? How to fix it?
The test file is in the attachment.
I am also very sure that I have synchronized the boards with a signal generator and a waveform generator. The signal generator generates a 10 MHz signal with amplitude of -5.4 dBm. The generated signal then goes through an amplifier to have a peak-to-peak amplitude from 2.5V to 3V. After that, the output is connected to REF CLOCK ports of the receiver boards through a splitter. The waveform generator creates a square wave with Vpp = 5V, Vp = 5V and frequency of 1 Hz. It connects to PPS IN ports of the receiver boards via a splitter. All cables have the same length.
