Exercise

Hands-on USRP tips

- FROM MATLAB prompt, check if hardware can be seen by typing >>findsdru
- Check out: www.mathworks.com/help/supportptkg/usrpradio/hardware-discovery.html
- Output will show "success" saying that the HW is visible
- If HW were in use, it would show "Tx busy"
- Open the simulink QPSK Transmitter with USRP Hardware
- Look at both QPSK Tx and Rx - with explanation
