Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] How to reconfigure automatically the channel used

Subject: Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] How to reconfigure automatically the channel used to received data in USRPs
Date: Wed, 7 Sep 2011 09:31:53 -0700 (PDT)

Hello Nick,

What do you mean? Actually I'm running RX and TX in two different flowgraphs
on USRP1, the first one in usrp_spectrum_sense.py to look for a free channel
(so the RX). In this script I also run benchmark_tx.py by the command p =
Popen('python benchmark_tx.py', shell =  True), then my second flowgrapgh
(the TX).

My problem is that on USRP2 I want to reconfigure the RX channel by python
(RX channel = 2484 MHz in the script benchmark_rx.py and RX channel =
channel received by USRP1 in the script benchamrk_rxr.py run by
benchmark_rx.py with the command p = Popen('python benchmark_rxr.py', shell
=  True)).

So I'm wondering if there exists the possibility to reconfigure the
parameters of a script in the same USRP (i.e. RX frequency channel) while it
is running and if this is not possible what do people mean with "USRP
reconfigurability?"

I really need an answer to understand the potentiality of my hardware,
thanks a lot!

Regards
