Okay so is it enough to use timed tuning to get constant phase difference each time?

But then in which other places I have to use the timed commands like in gain, sample rate etc also do I have to use timed commands? If so what are those commands? I am not getting a clear example of this. Regards, The tuning commands are the critical ones--because, as I explained, that's when the synthesizers are programmed, and the "resynch" pulse has to happen at the same time, hence, timed tuning.

"now", 2 ."pps" and 3. "mimo" I was using "now" but still I don't get same phase difference in each run. Is there any other time command that I have to use or what do I have to set? Regards, Ah! You have a misunderstanding about what I mean by "timed commands". See the "test_timed_commands" example in the source code tree. See also the documentation here: https://files.ettus.com/manual/page_sync.html Basically, you need to make sure that all the devices agree on what time it is (if you have only one device, this is "easy"). Once you have that, THEN, you need to make sure that all the RF synthesizer tuning happens at precisely the same instant, so that the re-synch feature (if the device has one) can be triggered at exactly the same time. Without that, the synthesizers are free to "lock" at any phase-angle with respect to the reference clock, and further the reference divider in a synthesizer is guaranteed to be in the same state across all synthesizers, even when they're using the same reference clock. This is what the "resynch" hardware signal is all about, and what the set_command_time()/clear_command_time() API is all about.
