Hi
I'm a hardware developer who is trying to get the B200 working. Everything seemed fine until I actually connected a spectrum analyzer to the tx output to find no output when the TX led is red. Ive measured the output with both spec and oscilloscope during benchmark and tx_waveforms with this command
./tx_waveforms --freq 915e6 --rate 5e6 --gain 10 --wave-type SINE --wave-freq 915e1
I've probed the circuit board along the TX signal path up to the analog devices chip, nothing but DC-voltages. Receiveing works excellent.
Does this mean that the board output is dead or can in be software related?
I'll paste the uhd probe output:
~ $ uhd_usrp_probe
