Simple program to transmit on the USRP2

Hello all,

I’m trying to create a simple transmit file example with the USRP2.
There
already is a provided example program that records data to a file, but
there
isn’t any program that transmits the same file.

The program below is what I have (relevant parts shown). Does anybody
know
what’s wrong with it?

I appreciate any help anybody can provide.

#!/usr/bin/env python

“”"
Read samples from file (e.g. something captured with usrp_rx_cfile.py)
and
transmit via USRP2
input single precision complex float values or complex short values
(interleaved 16 bit signed short integers).

“”"

from gnuradio import gr, eng_notation
from gnuradio import audio
from gnuradio import usrp2
from gnuradio.eng_option import eng_option
from optparse import OptionParser
import sys

n2s = eng_notation.num_to_str

class rx_cfile_block(gr.top_block):
def set_freq(self, target_freq):
“”"
Set the center frequency we’re interested in.
@param target_freq: frequency in Hz
@rypte: bool
Tuning is a two step process. First we ask the front-end to
tune as close to the desired frequency as it can. Then we use
the result of that operation and our target_frequency to
determine the value for the digital up converter. Finally, we
feed
any residual_freq to the s/w freq translater.
“”"
tr = self.u.set_center_freq(target_freq)
if tr == None:
sys.stderr.write(‘Failed to set center frequency\n’)
raise SystemExit, 1
return tr

def set_gain(self, gain):
    self.gain = gain
    self.u.set_gain(gain)

def spb(self):
    return self._spb


def interp(self):
    return self._interp


def __init__(self, options, filename):
    gr.top_block.__init__(self)

    # Create a USRP2 source
    if options.input_shorts:
        self._u = usrp2.source_16sc(options.interface, 

options.mac_addr)
self._sink = gr.file_sink(gr.sizeof_short2, filename)
self.src = gr.file_sink(gr.sizeof_short
2, filename)
else:
self._u = usrp2.source_32fc(options.interface,
options.mac_addr)
self._sink = gr.file_sink(gr.sizeof_gr_complex, filename)
self.src = gr.file_sink(gr.sizeof_gr_complex, filename)

    # sink
    if options.input_shorts:
       self.u = usrp2.sink_16sc(options.interface, 

self._u.mac_addr())
else:
self.u = usrp2.sink_32fc(options.interface,
self._u.mac_addr())
dac_rate = self.u.dac_rate();
self._spb = options.spb
self._interp=int(options.interp)
self.u.set_interp(self._interp)

    # build the graph
    #tb = my_graph(options.interp, options.spb, options.barker,

options.interface, options.mac_addr)

    tr = self.set_freq(options.freq)

    usrp = self.u

    # start flow graph
    #self.start()

    # build the graph
    self.amp = gr.multiply_const_cc(10.0 ** (options.gain / 20.0))
    if options.bandwidth is None:
        self.connect(self.src, self.amp, self._u)

Take a look at usrp2_siggen.py as a starting place.
