Running NI USRP 2940 without host PC

[Mahboob_ur_Rehman]

Hi,

I have recently started learning Labview and NI USRP 2940. I have written the program in Labview FPGA that don't need to communicate with FPGA VI or Host VI. 

Is it possible to run NI USRP 2940 on its own without Host PC, after updating the FPGA image through PCI link.

Thanks,

Hello,

The USRP RIO cannot run standalone and must have a host interface in order to operate.  When using a modified bitfile with LabVIEW FPGA, you must be connected over PCIe to operate the unit.  We do have a standalone USRP that has an onboard RT OS.
