Programming the USRP RIO
You can use the NI-USRP instrument driver to create communications applications for the
USRP RIO.
USRP RIO devices are LabVIEW FPGA targets, which support creating custom FPGAs and
configuring the device using Instrument Design Libraries. Use a sample project as a starting
point for application development.
Note
You must use the PCIe x4 connector if you want to program the FPGA. You
cannot use the 1G/10G ETH connector to program the FPGA.
NI-USRP Instrument Driver
NI-USRP features a set of VIs and properties that exercise the functionality of the USRP RIO,
including configuration, control, and other device-specific functions. Refer to the
NI-USRP Help
for information about using the instrument driver in your applications.
Software Options
NI provides two software options for programming the USRP RIO device: the NI-USRP API
and the USRP RIO instrument design library (IDL).
