[USRP-users] Re: TX from N310 External LO Error

Thanks for the responses everyone. Adding the "init_cals=BASIC" argument got rid of the error (I suppose a band-aid until I can grab a higher frequency sig gen). I was only supplying a 2 GHz signal, but it was at +3 dBm. I'll have to experiment the power. Thanks for the help. Thanks, Jonathan

Hi Jonathan, What Rob said is correct. You need to supply a 5 GHz LO initially so that the startup calibrations for the N310 will be correct. However, if I recall correctly, the device should still initialize even with an LO not equal to 5 GHz (though your going to see imaging / possible LO leak

2022-11-30 Thread Jonathan Tobin
Hello all - I am trying to transmit a test waveform from an N310 using the sample program tx_waveforms. When I set "tx_lo_source=external" I get the error below. When I set it to internal, the program runs smoothly, but there is no output. I am supplying an external LO at twice the desired outpu
