Use the info object function to get information from a connected B210 radio. The function shows the actual values for the radio. These values can vary slightly from the values specified in the object.

radio = comm.SDRuTransmitter(Platform ="B210",SerialNum ="31B92DD");
radio.CenterFrequency = 912.3456e6;
radio.LocalOscillatorOffset = 1000;
radio.Gain = 8.3;
radio.MasterClockRate = 10.56789e6;
radio.InterpolationFactor = 510;
info(radio)                   
ans = struct with fields:
                    Mboard: 'B210'
                  RXSubdev: 'FE-RX2'
                  TXSubdev: 'FE-TX2'
    MinimumCenterFrequency: 4.4716e+07
    MaximumCenterFrequency: 6.0053e+09
               MinimumGain: 0

Create an SDRu receiver System object for a multichannel radio configuration.

radio = comm.SDRuReceiver(Platform ="X300",IPAddress ='192.168.60.2');
radio.ChannelMapping = [1 2];
radio.CenterFrequency = [1.2 1.3]*1e9;
radio.Gain = [5 6];

Get the radio information by calling the info function.

info(radio)
ans = struct with fields:
                    Mboard: 'X300'
                  RXSubdev: {'UBX RX'  'UBX RX'}
                  TXSubdev: {'UBX TX'  'UBX TX'}
    MinimumCenterFrequency: [-70000000 -70000000]
    MaximumCenterFrequency: [6.0800e+09 6.0800e+09]
               MinimumGain: [0 0]
               MaximumGain: [37.5000 37.5000]
                  GainStep: [0.5000 0.5000]
           CenterFrequency: [1.2000e+09 1.3000e+09]
     LocalOscillatorOffset: 0
                      Gain: [5 6]
           MasterClockRate: 200000000
          DecimationFactor: 512
        BasebandSampleRate: 390625

Input Arguments

collapse all

USRP radio, specified as a comm.SDRuTransmitter or comm.SDRuReceiver System object. This radio must be connected to the host computer.

Output Arguments

collapse all

Synchronized radio settings information between the System object and the associated USRP radio hardware, returned as a structure array.

If radioSettings has settings information, the returned radio information varies depending on the type of the USRP device.

If radioSettings has no settings information or it is not associated with a USRP radio attached to the host, the structure returned is empty or has its Status field set to 'No device found' in findsdru function.

Tips

  • The actual radio computed value and your specified setting can differ. To confirm that the actual radio computed value is close enough to your specified setting, use this info function with the System object at the input radio.
