NI-USRP
API
Provides an API for
interacting with your
USRP RIO device.
Provides the standard,
CPU-based host
operation needed for most
SDR applications.
Create custom
measurements or
applications that require
in-phase/quadrature
modulation (I/Q) data.
Use with the
Modulation Toolkit to
develop SDR
transmitters and
receivers.
Use with the
Modulation Toolkit to
create and generate
modulated signals.

USRP RIO
IDL
Allows you to interface
with the FPGA of your
USRP RIO device for
advanced programming
and digital signal
processing (DSP).
Uses the USRP RIO
Sample Projects, which
allow you to take
common measurements
with your device. USRP
RIO Sample Projects are
included in the
installation.
Use with the LabVIEW
FPGA Module to
customize the behavior
of the device FPGA to
create application-
specific instrument
designs.
