How to set active antenna for ni-usrp driver with basic RX/TX daughter board?

[Mic_Lin]

Hi, everybody

I have some problem in using basic RX/TX.

I could use RFX2400 with USRP by Labview to run the examples of NiUSRP.

However, I can't run the examples by using basic RX/TX rather than RFX2400. 

The message of error is following: 

Possible reason(s):
A runtime or configuration error occurred.
Code: 2638
Details: ValueError: no selectable antennas on this board

I had saw the article about this problem (click here), but i can't understand that because I'm a tyro.

Hence, I need your help. Thanks.

Regards,

Mic Lin

Hey Mic_Lin,

What antenna name are you using?  I am able to run a RX session with my BasicRX using RX1 or RX2 as the antenna name.  I am able to run a TX session using either TX1 or TX/RX for the antenna name.  I am using NI-USRP version 1.2 and I have also run this using version 1.1.  If you are using version 1.0, I recommend updating to a newer driver version.

Hi Sarah Y

Thank you for your help. I can run it now. I think my problem is that I installed the old version (NI-USRP 1.0) as you said. 

Thanks again!

Best regards,
