How to display mux value?

Hi all !

Who knows how to display mux value ?

print “mux =”,
hex(usrp.determine_rx_mux_value(self.u,options.rx_subdev_spec))

displays negative values, for example -0xf0f0f0e
How to interpret negative value ?
and how to interpret 7 digit hex number istead of 8 digit.

regards,
Pawel

Hi Pawel-

You’ve probably figured this out by now, but I ran into the same thing
yesterday. Here’s what I did.

in_mux_value = usrp.determine_rx_mux_value(self.usrp_in,
in_dcard_subdev_spec)
print “RX mux value: 0x%08x” % (0xFFFFFFFFL & long(in_mux_value))
self.usrp_in.set_mux(in_mux_value)

The determine_*x_mux_value() method returns a (32 bit) int, but if the
MSB
is set, for example 0xF0F0F0F2, python thinks it’s a negative number,
which
screws up the printing. Cast it to a long and mask off the bottom 32
bits.

Hope that helps.

Hi Steven,

It works fine !
Together with Charles S.'s suggestions, you helped me with three
possible
approaches :

m = usrp.determine_rx_mux_value(self.u, options.rx_subdev_spec)
print “mux1 = %x” %(0x100000000 + m)
print "mux2 = ",hex(0x100000000 + m)
print “mux3 = 0x%08x” % (0xFFFFFFFFL & long(m))

Thanks for both of you,

Pawel
