682823

Return
When opening a USRP RIO project in LV Comms 2.0, a load error is reported.
An error which states, "Load Error: An unknown problem occurred while loading [project path]" occurs when a USRP RIO project in LV Comms 2.0 is saved on a computer with an NI-USRP instrument driver version 15.5 or later and opened on a computer which has NI-USRP 15.1 installed.

Workaround: On the machine with Comms 2.0 and NI-USRP 15.1 installed, upgrade your instrument driver to NI-USRP 15.5 or later.

Return
NI USRP-295x devices do not set the GPS time by default.
USRP-2950R/2952R/2953R devices do not set the GPS time onto the device timer, even when GPS is selected as the Timebase Clock Source.

Workaround: Set the Timebase Clock Source to "GPS". To set the GPS time onto the device properly, use the niUSRP EX Synchronize Clocks Multi-Device (PPS) VI. On this VI, set set device to GPS time to true and wire an array of device specifiers, for example "dev0". Refer to the niUSRP EX Rx Multiple Synchronized Inputs (PPS Trig) VI example for more information about how to use the niUSRP EX Synchronize Clocks Multi-Device (PPS) VI to set time.

Return
NI-USRP Configuration Utility seems to hang when updating the image of a USRP.
When updating an image on a USRP, the NI-USRP Configuration Utility seems to hang, and the application must be forced to close.

Workaround: Updating the image can take up to 20 minutes, during which time the utility currently seems to hang. Please wait at least 20 minutes when attempting to update the image.

544731

Return
Synchronizing using the external PPS on an USRP-294x/295x device can result in Rx/Tx samples misaligned by 5 ns.
When you use the "PPS TRIG IN" (or "PPS IN" or "PpsIn") terminal as the Timebase Clock Source to synchronize multiple devices to the same time, there can be instances where there is a 5 ns skew between devices. That is, the devices do not start acquiring or generating at exactly the same time, but instead start 5 ns apart. This occurs only with the NI-USRP instrument driver and does not occur with the USRP RIO LabVIEW FPGA-based design.

Workaround: This error will result only in rare cases, but when it does occur, the workaround is to detect when the skew exists, then delay the samples of any devices which do not exhibit the skew by 5ns. This skew will persist on devices which exhibit this behavior through power cycles and application execution. This means detection is not required with each run of your application.

540599

Return
When you open an NI-USRP API session to a device that is already being used as a LabVIEW FPGA device with the niUsrpRio Configuration Instrument Design Library, errors result from the existing session.
If you attempt to use the NI-USRP API to open a session to an USRP-294x/295x device when it is already being used as LabVIEW FPGA device, for example through a NI-USRP Simple Streaming sample project, your action can cause the session to terminate with an error. When you open an NI-USRP session to a device, the custom LV FPGA image on the device will be replaced with a default FPGA image that works with the NI-USRP driver, which will invalidate an open LV FPGA session open to that device.

Workaround: Using both driver APIs (NI-USRP and the niUsrpRIO Configuration Instrument Design Library in the LabVIEW FPGA environment) simultaneously to configure the same device is not a supported use case.

Reported Version: 14.5  Resolved Version: N/A  Added: 09/03/15
539338

Return
The status of the USRP RIO Local Oscillator (LO) lock may be true even when the LO has not been configured.
The LO lock status may be true even before you configure the LO frequency. The LO lock status is indeterminate before you configure any frequency.

Workaround: Do not check the LO Locked status before you configure the frequency, because the status is indeterminate until the LO is configured. It is valid to check the status only after a frequency configuration is made.

Return
Timed commands do not work with the USRP-2900/2901.
Timed commands are currently not supported with the USRP-2900/2901.

Workaround: N/A

Reported Version: 14.1  Resolved Version: N/A  Added: 06/11/15
528194

Return
Incorrect frequency coercion can result when you set the LO frequency to a non-default value on an USRP-2900/2901 device.
If you set the LO frequency to a non-default value, an incorrect carrier frequency coercion can result if the absolute difference (offset) between the carrier frequency and the LO frequency is greater than half the data clock rate. For example, setting a LO frequency to 2 GHz and configuring a carrier frequency of 2.02 GHz or 20 MHz offset will result in incorrect carrier frequency coercion if the data clock rate is 32 MHz (which permits only 16 MHz offset). The maximum allowed offset is also limited by the maximum configurable DSP frequency and thus can be lower than the data clock rate/2 limit.

Workaround: Set the Data Clock Rate to a value higher than twice the maximum offset that you intend to use. However, the Data Clock Rate has a maximum limit too. Or Do not use the LO frequency property node and instead use only the carrier frequency property, which will automatically set the LO frequency to a value appropriate to achieve the requested carrier frequency.

Reported Version: 14.1  Resolved Version: N/A  Added: 06/11/15
527016

Return
Setting the LO Frequency property node to the default value of -1 results in wrong carrier frequency coercion on the USRP-2901 device.
When you set the LO Frequency property node to the default value of -1 and then set the carrier frequency, a wrong carrier frequency configuration may result on the USRP-2901 device.

Workaround: Set the LO frequency property in the context of an active channel. For example, using the niusrp property node, first set the active channel and then set the LO frequency property below it.

Reported Version: 14.1  Resolved Version: N/A  Added: 06/11/15
519793

Return
Two channel acquisition (Rx) on a single USRP-2901 device is not aligned.
When you configure a single device for a multi-channel acquisition (Rx), if you use a Time Start Trigger (niUSRP Configure Trigger.vi) the time must be set on both channels of the device using the niUSRP Set Time VI. If the "apply timestamp" parameter is set to "Now", there may be a misalignment between the channels. Set the "apply timestamp" parameter to "Next Timebase Edge".

Workaround: Set the "apply timestamp" parameter of the niUSRP Set Time VI to "Next Timebase Edge" for a single-device, multi-channel acquisition with a Time Start Trigger.

Reported Version: 14.1  Resolved Version: 15.5  Added: 06/11/15
519572

Return
Changing the I/Q rate can cause discontinuity in the time reported by the device.
A change in I/Q rate value can cause a discontinuity in the time reported by the USRP-2900/2901 device. Change in the I/Q rate can cause an automatic change in the data clock rate, which influences the time maintained by the device.

Workaround: Set the data clock rate property to a fixed value for e.g. 32M or 48M explicitly if you intend to change the I/Q rate in an application and rely on the time-stamps from the device to be continuous. Setting the the data clock rate however will restrict the I/Q rates that can be achieved. Another workaround is to explicitly set the time after making a change to the I/Q rate. You can use the niUSRP Set Time VI to do this. For example, read the time from the device using the niUSRP Get Time VI before changing the I/Q rate and set the time to that value after you change the I/Q rate using the niUSRP Set Time VI.

Return
Repeatedly aborting and then initiating an NI-USRP session occasionally causes a packet timeout error with USRP-2900/2901 devices.
Repeatedly initiating and aborting your NI-USRP session when using an USRP-2900/2901 device will occasionally result in a timeout error -1074118650.

Workaround: Catch the error, then close and reconfigure your session.

Return
USRP-295x devices do not set the GPS time by default.
USRP-2950R/2952R/2953R devices do not set the GPS time onto the device timer, even when GPS is selected as the Timebase Clock Source.

Workaround: Set the Timebase Clock Source to "GPS". To set the GPS time onto the device properly, use the niUSRP EX Synchronize Clocks Multi-Device (PPS) VI. On this VI, set "set device to GPS time" to true and wire an array of device specifiers, for example "dev0". Refer to the niUSRP EX Rx Multiple Synchronized Inputs (PPS Trig) VI example for more information about how to use the niUSRP EX Synchronize Clocks Multi-Device (PPS) VI to set time.

488044

Return
Error -61083 and corrupted data can occur when you use clocks derived from the data clocks.
The data clock of the USRP-294x/295x is generated outside of the FPGA . You must configure the data clock before it is used by any FPGA logic, otherwise logic running from the derived clock could execute while the data clock configures, resulting in undefined behavior. The ability to derive clocks from the data clock has been disabled in NI-USRP 14.0.

Workaround: Create derived clocks from the 40 MHz onboard clock instead of the data clocks. Because the onboard clock is not phase-locked to the data clock, you must add and test logic to ensure the clocks perform as intended.

487251

Return
The NI-USRP Configuration Utility may incorrectly report that an image update is needed for USRP-292x/293x devices already in use.
If an USRP-292x/293x device is already in use, the NI-USRP Configuration Utility normally does not display the device. In some cases, the utility may show the device but display UPDATE NEEDED in the Image Status column. If the device is in use by another process or system, the FPGA/Firmware update may not be required.

Refresh the devices list to verify that the device is visible and requires image updating.

Workaround: Ensure that a device is not in use by another application or system before updating the FPGA and Firmware images with the NI-USRP Configuration Utility.

Reported Version: 14.0  Resolved Version: N/A  Added: 09/23/14
487061

Return
USRP-292x/293x devices may not return an error if an external reference signal is missing.
When an USRP-292x/293x device is configured to use REF IN as the reference frequency source, but a reference signal is not applied on the REF IN port, the device may not generate an error in LabVIEW.

Workaround: Provide a reference frequency source to the REF IN port.

486961

Return
The niUSRP Find Devices VI will occasionally return incorrect information when a session is open to a USRP device.
When running the niUSRP Find Devices VI while a session is open to a USRP device connected to the system, it will occasionally return incorrect information.

Workaround: Ensure all sessions are closed when you run the niUSRP Find Devices VI.

485027

Return
Alternating use of USRP-293x/292x devices connected with MIMO cables in LabVIEW 32-bit and LabVIEW 64-bit can cause the USRP devices to appear disconnected from the system.
This issue may occur when you run applications on multiple USRP-293x/292x devices connected with MIMO cables, alternating between LabVIEW 32-bit and LabVIEW 64-bit. The devices appear to be disconnected from your system. This is due to improper releasing of the USRP resources.

Workaround: Close both LabVIEW instances and cycle power to the USRP devices.

Reported Version: 14.0  Resolved Version: N/A  Added: 09/23/14
469466

Return
Errors occur when you use multiple devices on different buses in a single session.
When you use the NI-USRP API to open a session to multiple devices on different buses, for example one with Ethernet and one with PCI Express, various errors occur during execution after opening the session. The errors vary depending on whether the session is Rx or Tx.

Workaround: Use devices only on a single bus in a single session.

467209

Return
Error -107411864 "A stream command was issued in the past" occurs when you set Timebase Clock Source to PpsIn and do not provide a timebase clock source to the PPS IN port.
If you set Timebase Clock Source to PpsIn and do not provide a timebase clock source to PPS IN, the USRP device will revert back to its internal timebase clock source. This may result in error -1074118649 "A stream command was issued in the past."
Workaround: Provide a timebase clock source to the PPS IN port.

Reported Version: 14.0  Resolved Version: N/A  Added: 09/23/14
466351

Return
"A stream command was issued in the past" or "Packet had timestamp that was late (or too early)" errors can occur with MIMO synchronization.
In an Rx session, the error message reads "A stream command was issued in the past." In a Tx session, the error message reads "Packet had timestamp that was late (or too early)." This issue occurs only when all of the following conditions are met:

The slave device has a GPSDO.
The niUSRP Set Time VI is called only on the master.
The timestamp is applied immediately.

Workaround: Avoid this error by implementing any of the following solutions:

Add a one-second wait anywhere after you open a Tx or Rx session but before the niUSRP Initiate VI.
Configure the niUSRP Set Time VI to apply the timestamp at the next timebase edge.
Call the niUSRP Set Time VI on both channels.

460810

Return
Runtime errors occur when you open one session to multiple devices and another session to a subset of those devices.
The order in which you call the Open Tx Session VI and the Open Rx Session VI affects which error appears. For example, if you call the Open Tx Session VI with the names of device A and device B and then you call the Open Rx Session VI with the name of device A, the Write Tx Data VI returns the following error:
"niUSRP Write Tx Data (2D CDB).vi. A runtime or configuration error occurred. Code: 1440 Details: RuntimeError: fifo ctrl timed out looking for acks"

If you call the Open Rx Session VI with the names of device A and device B and then you call the Open Tx Session VI with the name of device A, the Fetch Rx Data VI returns the following error:
"1074118650: Timeout exceeded before packet received or sent. Not all samples may have been received or sent. Consider increasing timeout."

Workaround: Open an Rx and Tx session to the same list of devices. You can disable the unused channel in the session where you added it.

460704

Return
Out-of-sequence errors occur when you use NI-USRP over an Ethernet connection.
The driver may report out-of-sequence errors in either of the following scenarios:
  • High network traffic or high streaming rates are occurring over Ethernet. Some network cards collate network packets out-of-order in these situations, and the NI-USRP driver reports errors in this case. For example, the Intel 82579LM network controller chipset is known to exhibit this behavior with the NI-USRP driver.
  • You call the niUSRP Set Time VI after you call the niUSRP Initiate VI when receiving.

Workaround: 

  • Refer to the Data Streaming Performance Tips topic in the NI-USRP Help for more information about improving streaming performance over Ethernet.
  • Do not call the niUSRP Set Time VI after calling the niUSRP Initiate VI.

Return
Sleep is not supported for the USRP-294x/295x devices over PCI Express.
USRP-294x/295x devices do not support sleep when connected over PCI Express. When resuming from sleep, USRP-294x/295x devices may not work or the host machine may become unstable.

Workaround: Cycle power to the USRP-294x/295x devices and the host machine.

There is a large transient time at the beginning of a Tx session or Rx session when you use the USRP-2943R/2953R.
There is a ~110 μs to 130 μs transient at the beginning of a Tx session or Rx session when you use the USRP-2943R/2953R devices.

Workaround: For Tx or Rx, pad the waveforms with sufficient 0 samples to cover the transient time and then throw out these 0 samples.

Reported Version: 1.3  Resolved Version: N/A  Added: 05/07/14
458163

Return
When you use NI-USRP and the USRP-294x/295x devices, 24 samples of the previous acquisition are present at the beginning of a new acquisition.
When you configure an Rx session, the first set of data retrieved from a fetch call will contain invalid data. Twenty-four samples and about 130 μs of transient data are left over from the previous Rx acquisition.
Workaround: Design your application to discard the first 24 samples and 130 μs of transient data.

Return
The niUSRP Fetch Rx Data VIs do not respect "channel list" control.
The niUSRP Fetch Rx Data VI always returns data for all of the channels specified in the Enabled Channels property. You cannot enable multiple channels and then fetch data only from a single channel at a time.

Workaround: Enable only the channels that you want to fetch data from at the same time.

Return
Opening an FPGA reference fails with error -63150 on USRP-294x/295x devices.
The Open FPGA VI Reference and Open Dynamic Bitfile Reference nodes fail with error -61350 on USRP-294x/295x devices if the FPGA image stored in the flash of the device is bad.

Workaround: Update the FPGA image stored in the flash of the device with a known good image by running\vi.lib\LabVIEW Targets\FPGA\USRP\niusrprio_tools.llb\Write Bitfile to Flash.vi. The default FPGA image is stored at \NI-USRP\images\usrp_x310_fpga_HGS.lvbitx. Cycle power to the device and the host after you update the FPGA image of the device.

360108

Return
The niUSRP Write Tx Data VI sometimes ignores timeout if end of data? is TRUE.
If you call the niUSRP Write Tx Data VI with end of data? set to TRUE, the driver might ignore the timeout. If you configured the device to start generating at a time that is later than the timeout, the driver will wait for the device to start generating, even if the wait time exceeds the timeout.

Workaround: Do not set Start Trigger times that are further in the future than you want to wait.

349079

Return
Streaming performance for multi-device sessions is sometimes low.
NI-USRP sessions configured to control multiple devices exhibit lower than expected streaming performance. The streaming rate for multi-device sessions should be approximately half that of single device sessions, but actual performance is less than half. For multi-device sessions, it is sometimes not possible to stream at high I/Q rates.

Return
NI-USRP Configuration Utility fails to reset after you upgrade the firmware or FPGA.
The utility reports that it was unable to reset the device after a firmware or FPGA upgrade. The upgrade was successful, but the reset action did not complete.

Workaround: Unplug and replug the device to manually power cycle the device and complete the reset action.

310810

Return
NI-USRP returns one of the following errors during Tx: "Packet loss between host and device." or "Packet loss within a burst."
A continuous Tx operation that uses a high I/Q sampling rate and a small waveform size per write creates a very large number of underflows. The underflows cause the operation to eventually error out with one of the packet loss errors. When one of these errors occurs, a packet has actually been dropped between the host and the device.

Workaround: Implement one or more of the following changes:
-Use a larger write size in each write call.
-Use a smaller I/Q sampling rate, if possible.
-Use a finite Tx operation that provides all the data in a single write call and sets the end of data? input of the write VI to TRUE, if possible.

295724

Return
Transients exist for both Tx and Rx.
For I/Q sampling rates that are divisible by 2, transients may appear in the first 20 or so samples for both Rx and Tx.

Workaround: For Tx, pad the end of each generated waveform with zeros to eliminate the transient samples at the beginning of the subsequent waveform generation.
For Rx, acquire sufficient extra data before the expected beginning of the packet and discard the first 20 samples.
