USRP radio information

Syntax

radioSettings = info(radio)

Description

radioSettings = info(radio) returns a structure array containing the current radio settings for the USRP™ radio hardware associated with the SDRu System object™ radio.

Examples

Get Radio Information for Multichannel Radio

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.

Input Arguments

radio — USRP radio

comm.SDRuTransmitter System object | comm.SDRuReceiver System object

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

Output Arguments

radioSettings — Synchronized radio settings information

structure array

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

The information returned varies depending on the type of the USRP device.

If no settings information is found or System object is not associated with a USRP radio attached to the host, info returns an empty structure.

Tips

• The actual radio computed value can differ from the setting you specify. To confirm that the actual radio computed value is close enough to your specified setting, use the info function.
