ADE Instructions
LabVIEW
Communications System
Design Suite
Open the projects in LabVIEW Communications System
Design Suite by selecting the Projects tab and choosing a
USRP sample project from the array.
LabVIEW Open the projects in LabVIEW by selecting File»Create
Project»NI-USRP.
You must install the LabVIEW FPGA Module to customize the
behavior of the device FPGA.
NI-USRP Examples
The instrument driver examples are instructional tools that demonstrate some of the
functionality of the USRP RIO. You can use these examples separately or integrate them into
your systems. NI-USRP includes examples for getting started and other SDR functionality.
You can access the NI-USRP examples from the following locations:
• In LabVIEW Communications System Design Suite at Learning»Examples»Hardware
Input and Output.
• From the Start menu at Start»All Programs»National Instruments»NI-USRP»
Examples.
• In LabVIEW from Functions»Instrument I/O»Instrument Drivers»NI‑USRP»
Examples palette.
You can access additional examples from the code sharing community at ni.com/usrp.
Note The NI Example Finder does not include NI-USRP examples.
Verifying the Device Connection (Optional)
Using LabVIEW Communications System Design Suite
Run a VI to confirm that the device transmits and receives signals and is connected correctly
to the host computer.
Note The USRP-2945 is not supported in LabVIEW Communications System
Design Suite.
1. Navigate to Learning»Examples»Hardware Input and Output to create an example.
2. Select the Single-Device Streaming project template for your device.
3. Run Tx and Rx Streaming (Host).gvi.
If the device is transmitting and receiving signals, the front panel graphs display
waveform data.
