I am only using 1 daughterboard. Sorry about the duc0 = 0 inclusion.
It’s something I neglected to remove when I was editing the original
file. I don’t think it should have any effect on what I am seeing
though. I set the duc frequency to 0 because I wanted to transmit at
baseband. I’ve already built the signal I want in the gr.vector, I just
want the daughterboard to pass it as is. I’ve managed to do that with
usrp_siggen.py. By setting the -f option to 0 and the -w option to some
frequency, I get a waveform of the -w frequency at the daughterboard
output. I’m pretty sure (0, 0) is TXA, and (1, 0) is TXB. My waveform
does appear at the TXB output when I run the script. The problem is the
pulse duration I’m seeing is much shorter (about 1/10) than what I
expect.

Lance

This is what I did:

Are you trying to use one daughter boards(nchen=1)? Why did you set
duc0 = 0? that means your frequency will not be set at all. You do
not need to do set_tx_freq() twice if you are using one daughter board.
you only need :
u.set_tx_freq (0, duc0) where duc0 is some frequency. Also, if you are
using the basic daughterboards, you need to make sure that you have the
output connector connect to TXA not TXB (according to your
tx_subdev_spec)
Hope this helped.
