Component	Description
Ettus USRP module	Ettus USRPs provide RF signal generation and acquisition, device‑level processing, timing and synchronization resources, and high‑speed data interfaces for software‑defined radio applications.
Host PC	A host computer runs control software and processes streamed data. Host performance requirements depend on sample rate, bandwidth, FPGA image, and application workload. For the PCIe variants, the host PC must support at least PCIe Gen 2x4. For USRP B310 (Enclosed) variant, the host must be Thunderbolt™ 3 or later. NI recommends using Thunderbolt™ 5.
USRP Hardware Driver™	Driver software runs on the host PC and provides the APIs, tools, and drivers required to configure the Ettus USRP B310, control operation, and stream RF data. The Ettus USRP B310 requires UHD 4.11 or later.
USRP B310 (Enclosed) power supply	The provided USB-C Power Delivery power supply delivers regulated power required to operate the USRP B310 (Enclosed).
