Verifying the Device Connection Using LabVIEW

Run a VI to confirm that the device transmits and/or receives signals and is connected correctly to the host computer.

  1. Create a sample project in LabVIEW by selecting File » Create Project » NI-USRP.
  2. Select the NI-USRP Simple Streaming sample project template and click Next.
  3. Run the appropriate streaming VI according to your USRP RIO device.
    DeviceVI
    USRP-2940/2942/2943/2944 Tx and Rx Streaming Host VI
    USRP-2945 Rx Streaming (Host) VI
    If the device is transmitting and/or receiving signals, the front panel graphs display waveform data.
  4. Click STOP to conclude the test.
