LabView Communications and NI2901 USRP

[Rob22]

I purchased the teaching bundle with NI2901 USRPs. The USRPs work fine with the tutorials and examples that come with LabVIEW Communications 2.0. However, I can't get any of the .gvi files that come with the lab to work. All of the lab resources and files are written for the NI2920 USRP. When I open any of the files, they start with a broken run button. I press it and get multiple errors that all point to the USRP configuration blocks in the diagram. The device ID control is set up to accept the IP address of the 2920 and does not give an option for any other USRP. Can anyone recommend a solution or resource for this? I tried to modify the code, but don't understand it well enough to fix it. Thanks!

Hey Rob22,

It sounds like you've already found the "Device ID" control. To make sure we're referring to the same thing though, you can check my screenshot. In this Device ID control you can specify the IP address of the USRP you want to use. It provides a drop-down menu of all available USRP devices. If you have a USRP that is not showing up here, open the NI-USRP Configuration Utility and search for it there.
