Hi,

Following up on this, the question I'm trying to answer is: "Can I calibrate the rx power on an N210 + UBX platform?"

With the N210, has_rx_power_reference() <https://files.ettus.com/manual/classuhd_1_1usrp_1_1multi__usrp.html#af0307aa83d1454e92a7ec91fb4100b98> returns False. Can I conclude from this that an rx power calibration is not possible on this device?
It means that there is no reference calibration API available for this device.

The calibration reference API is fairly new, so it will only be available (at least initially) on newer devices.   The N2xx series is about 10 years old
 at this point.

    Hi,

    I'm trying to calibrate the receive power on a USRP N210 with a
    UBX daughterboard. Using UHD 4.0, I can get uhd_power_cal.py to
    run by adding an N210Calibrator class to usrp_calibrator.py.
    N210Calibrator overloads the USRPCalibratorBase class.

    class N210Calibrator(USRPCalibratorBase):
        """
        N210/UBX Calibration
        """
        mboard_ids = ('N210r4',)
        default_rate = 2.5e6
        min_freq = 50e6
        max_freq = 50e6
        tune_settling_time = .5

    When the calibration completes, the store() method in
    usrp_calibrator attempts to write the calibration table to the UBX
    with

            database.write_cal_data(
                cal_key,
                cal_serial,
                cal_data.serialize())

    The chan_info string returned by the N210 is:

    {'mboard_id': 'N210r4', 'mboard_name': '', 'mboard_serial':
    '318EFF3', 'rx_antenna': 'TX/RX', 'rx_id': 'UBX-40 v2 (0x007c)',
    'rx_serial': '318D55F', 'rx_subdev_name': 'UBX RX',
    'rx_subdev_spec': 'A:0'}

    What values to use for cal_key and cal_serial?

    Thanks in advance!

    Ernest
