We are using the B2xx USB based radios in a system. In certain cases, we are in an environment where there is significant power in a interfering signal that significantly suppressed by the filtering (CIC) within the DDC. Near the output of the DDC there is a set of gain multipliers for both quadrature components. The gain is controlled by scale_factor which I believe is controlled via the setting register at SR_RX_DSP (BASE) + 1 = 145. In the host UHD code I believe I have found the section that manipulates this scale factor in comprised of code in set_host_rate and update_scaler. I have a few questions regarding manipulating of this scaler. We would really like to use the existing gain compensation blocks so this functionality doesn't required additional host processing if this is an option.
1. Is _host_extra_scaling applied in the host in UHD or is it left up to the user to perform such compensation in GNU Radio etc? If it is the latter how is this information retrieved via the API? 2. Does UHD expose any method to directly manipulate scale_factor of the DDC either by FPGA register peeks and pokes or through the API? 3. How does one access FPGA registers including the USER Registers? Does this require modification of UHD or is this functionality available in the distributed version of UHD for the B2xx series of radios? Thank you, Andrew
