Hi Varban, not quite sure I understand what you want: The B2xx series only has the streamers it has, so you can either get the DDC output, or the output of your module, not both (unless you somehow interleave them, and then on the host deinterleave them). Also, unless latency is an important cons

Hi Roma, I must admit that this kind of multi-core libusb handling wasn't one of the original design goals. Essentially, it **could** work with little code modification to NOT reuse the same libusb context (on anything but Windows, at least), but the fact that we cache the libusb context certainly

Hello Padorin, both are pretty good; the presentation can't fully represent the differences; the UBX alone costs about as much as an B210, and you'll need an X310 and two UBX to have as many channels as the B210, so there's a solid factor in price and size and weight and power consumption that goe

Dear Hossein, the B200 does NOT have a TX power control that would compensate that. Are you perhaps either not changing A very much, or are you perhaps clipping? Driving your B200's TX amplifier into saturation would of course mean that you'd not see much of signal power reduction when reducing s
