Yes I am using the command: uhd::usrp::multi_usrp::make(args) passing the IP 
addresses of the three N200 boards. Moreover I check the boards synch using 
usrp->get_time_synchronized () which returns true but still the sinusoids are 
not temporally alligned. A colleague raised an arguement the even though the 
boards' clcok are synch the daughter boards may introduce phase shift. Is this 
arguement valid? I am using DB DBSRX2.

Many thanks,

Zo

PS. Thanks for recommending GRC but I am more confortable to work under windows 
with MSVC.

        Dear Marcus,

        

        I a working under windows now. I have modified the the example
        "rx_samples_to_file.cpp" by including the following lines

        

        usrp->set_time_source("external");

        usrp->set_time_unknown_pps(uhd::time_spec_t(0.0));

        boost::this_thread::sleep(boost::posix_time::seconds(1));

        

        for (size_t chan = 0; chan < usrp->get_rx_num_channels();
        chan++)

                stream_args.channels.push_back(chan); 

        uhd::rx_streamer::sptr rx_stream =
        usrp->get_rx_stream(stream_args);

        

        std::vector<std::vector<std::complex<float> >
        > buffs( usrp->get_rx_num_channels(),
        std::vector<std::complex<float> >(samps_per_buff)  
        );

        

         std::vector<std::complex<float> *> buff_ptrs;

            for (size_t i = 0; i < buffs.size(); i++) 

                 buff_ptrs.push_back(&buffs[i].front());

        

        while(not stop_signal_called and (num_requested_samples !=
        num_total_samps or num_requested_samples == 0)){

                size_t num_rx_samps = rx_stream->recv(buff_ptrs,
        samps_per_buff, md, 2.0);

                outfile1.write((const char*)buff_ptrs[0],
        num_rx_samps*sizeof(float));

                outfile2.write((const char*)buff_ptrs[1],
        num_rx_samps*sizeof(float));

                outfile3.write((const char*)buff_ptrs[2],
        num_rx_samps*sizeof(float));

            }

        

            outfile1.close();

            outfile2.close();

            outfile3.close();

        

        

        I am feeding a split sinusoid to these boards so I expected to
        see similar values in these three files. However, i only see a
        sinusoid in the first file and some random noise in the 2nd and
        3rd files. I am not sure how the metadata saves from the three
        boards. Would you check the lines above and reply if you have
        any insights, please?

        I wasn't able to verify sync.

        

        Best regards,

        

        Zo

      
    
    Where are you actually doing the setup on the 3 N210s?  Via a
    mult-usrp object?

    

    Seriously, you can do this in GRC in about five minutes.
