software.

1.

Visit 

ni.com/info

 and enter the Info Code 

usrpdriver

 to access the driver download

page for all versions of NI-USRP software.

2.

Download a version of NI-USRP driver software.

3.

Follow the instructions in the installation prompts.

Note

 

Windows users may see access and security messages during

installation. Accept the prompts to complete the installation.

4.

When the installer completes, select

 in the dialog box that prompts you to

restart, shut down, or restart later.

Installing the Device

Install all the software you plan to use before you install the hardware.

Note

 

The USRP device connects to a host computer using a standard gigabit

Ethernet interface. Refer to the documentation for your gigabit Ethernet interface for
installation and configuration instructions.

1.

Power on the computer.

2.

Attach the antenna or cable to the front panel terminals of the USRP device as desired.

3.

Use the Ethernet cable to connect the USRP device to the computer. For maximum
throughput over Ethernet, NI recommends that you connect each USRP device to its own
dedicated gigabit Ethernet interface on the host computer.

4.

Connect the AC/DC power supply to the USRP device.

5.

Plug the power supply into a wall outlet. Windows automatically recognizes the USRP
device.

Synchronizing Multiple Devices (Optional)

You can connect two USRP devices so that they share clocks and the Ethernet connection to
the host.
1.

Connect the MIMO cable to the MIMO EXPANSION port of each device.
