I am trying to use wireshark to extract the timestamp from the received
ethernet packets to test my sync_every_pps() function is working. I have
located the word I need to extract from the received data but how can I
automatically extract this and display it as an integer in the display
window in wireshark?
Alternatively, is there a better way to view the timestamp information
to
check for a reset?

You can either write a custom wireshark plugin to parse the packets (in
which case you’ll want to consult with a better source of information on
wireshark - perhaps their mailing list), simply monitor the word
yourself, or you could write a c++ application that talks to libusrp2
directly and prints out the timestamp. I did at one point modify the
rx_streaming_samples application that is packaged with gnuradio to do
just that. But I’ve also used wireshark and simply watched for the reset
manually.

Thanks for your help Doug. I thought I knew which bits to monitor which
contained the timestamp but now im not sure! The packets received seem
very
large. I have included a screenprint of one below. Please could you tell
me
which bits are the timestamp in this packet?
The data appears to start from line 0020 but every other 32 bits are
either
ff or 00.
Do we add the sync_every_pps() to txrc.c immediately before the while
loop?

Which version of gnuradio are you running? If you’re using the
usrp2-vrt git branch, the frame format has changed dramatically. If
you’re using the released code (or the master branch from git) the frame
structure is (IIRC) defined in
usrp2/firmware/include/usrp2_eth_packet.h. There’s the standard ethernet
header (dst, src, ethertype), a short ‘transport’ header (some flags,
sequence number, etc.), and the ‘fixed’ header which has some more
flags, and the 32-bit timestamp. The VRT format has a much longer
header, and includes a seconds count and a fractional seconds count.
You don’t need to call sync_every_pps() in the firmware (do you really
want to reset the clock every PPS?). The host can send the command to
sync_*_pps() when setting up the connection to the USRP2. For example,
in rx_streaming_samples, call u2->sync_to_pps() (or sync_every_pps() if
you really want that) before calling u2->start_rx_streaming. Then you
can have the copy handler print out the timestamp from each frame
received by the USRP2. In the VRT branch I believe there is already an
example application that prints out the timestamp from received frames.
