Hi,
I am trying to receive contiguous real-time signal from USRP-2955 (X310) device. But i observe losses in acquisition. For an example, in the following code i try to receive a signal with a sampling rate of 200kHz for 10 seconds. 200e3 samples is fetched by the code for each time. 200e3 samples corresponds 1 second of signal. So I expect to to fetch 200e3 samples of signal in 1 second to accomplish real-time acquisition. As seen at the output of the code, transfer duration (from USRP to computer) of a frame is about 0.007sn (which is very good), but on the other hand, fetch duration is about 1.6sn (which eventually causes signal loss in reception). And 10 seconds of signal is retrieved in 26 seconds.
Even if i change the value of 'SamplesPerFrame', fetch duration never equals to frameDuration (= rcvr.SamplesPerFrame / Fs).
Am i wrong to think that "X seconds of signal must be fetched in X seconds for real-time acquisition", or is there any other mechanism to achieve real-time acquisition?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
The increase in time doesn't indicate data loss during acquisition.
The losses in acquisition will be indicated using the overflow output from the SDRuReceiver System Object.
In R2021b, performance enhancement to USRP System Objects are available, with which data acquisition time will be equal to the frame duration in a step call
See the section - "Improved performance for SDRu receiver System object with data reception time and number of overruns" in the release notes for R2021b https://in.mathworks.com/help/supportpkg/usrpradio/release-notes.html
