Why Doesn't the USRP Device Appear in the NI-USRP Configuration Utility?

  1. Verify that the latest NI-USRP drivers are installed by running NI Update Service, available from the Start menu at Start » All Programs » National Instruments » NI Update Service.
  2. Check the LED status to ensure the device is powered correctly. If the LED is blue, the device is powered correctly using USB. If the LED is orange, the device is powered correctly using external power.
  3. Connect the device to a different USB port of the host computer, if one is available.
  4. Ensure that the latest drivers are installed for your USB controller.
