Replacing CBX with UBX daughterboards -> LO Timeout Error

Hello everyone,

we are currently using the USRPs NI-2943R, so essentially a X310 with CBX daughterboards, and were planning to upgrade these to NI-2944R (X310 with UBX-daughterboards) by replacing the daughterboards.
Unfortunately, when trying to get them up and running in Labview 2020 we experience this error:


Error -1074100588 bei Timeout while waiting for: LO Locked
niUsrpRio Config v1 Host.lvlib:Wait until Done.vi:950002

 

niUsrpRio Config v1 Host.lvlib:Wait until Done.vi:950002
Configure Frequency.vi:4280001
Configure Signal (Common).vi:2920001
Configure Signal (Level).vi:6340001
Configure Rx.vi:2290001
Open and Configure Device Core.vi:6550001
Open and Configure Device.vi:6580001
Rx Streaming (Host).vi

 

We used the simple RX-Streaming example from the NI-USRP project templates. The USRP is connected over PCIe to our PXI-Rack.
With the CBX-daughterboards the example works like a charm, but with the UBX-daughterboards we get the above mentioned timeout error.

What we tried so far:
- Reflashing the FPGA
- Updating the product code in the EEPROM to NI-2944R
- Increasing the Timeout in the Wait until Done VI
- Using Matlab over Ethernet with the Comm Toolbox Support Package for USRP -> This is working!

So since the USRP is running properly with Matlab I guess we can conclude, that the hardware is okay so far.
Our error should be somewhere in LabView then, but we can't pin-point what our problem is.

I am very thankful for any hints or ideas, what we can try or might be overlooking. Thank you!

Dear.

 

I would like to ask you to follow the bellow steps:

 

1. Open the USRP Utility by following the path: C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\NI-USRP\utilities\USRP-Util.exe.

2. Copy the mentioned path.

3. Open cmd, and inter the mentioned path directory by typing the command cd<The Path>

4. Type uhd_USRP_Probe.exe.

5. Provide me with the output you get.

 

Thank You.

Hi I have the same issue. However, I ve bought USRP X310 without daughterboards and insert two UBX 160 daughterboards. I ve got the the same error. Moreover, I ve found out that I am able to transmit any signal but this error occurs when I try to receive something. 

 

I attached the output you´ve asked. Thanks in advance!
