<para>This is the GNU Radio UHD package. It is the interface to the UHD library to connect to and send and receive data between the Ettus Research, LLC product line. To use the UHD blocks, the Python namespaces is in gnuradio.uhd, which would be normally imported as:</para>

<para>The relevant blocks are listed in the <ref refid="group__uhd__blk" kindref="compound">UHD Interface</ref> group. The most important components are the <ref refid="classgr_1_1uhd_1_1usrp__source" kindref="compound">gr::uhd::usrp_source</ref> and <ref refid="classgr_1_1uhd_1_1usrp__sink" kindref="compound">gr::uhd::usrp_sink</ref> blocks, which act as receivers/transmitters. Both are derived from <ref refid="classgr_1_1uhd_1_1usrp__block" kindref="compound">gr::uhd::usrp_block</ref>, which defines many of the shared functions between those blocks.</para>

<title>Command Syntax</title>
<para>The UHD sink and source can be controlled by a message port. These message ports take commands, which are PMTs formatted as described in <ulink url="https://wiki.gnuradio.org/index.php/Message_Passing">Using messages as commands</ulink>.</para>
<para>There is a legacy format, which will be deprecated in the future, where commands may be tuples, formatted as: <verbatim>(command, value, [channel])
</verbatim> See older versions of this manual for documentation on this deprecated command format.</para>
<para>In general, every command consists of one or more key/value pairs (either stored as a PMT pair, or a dictionary). A full list of keys is listed below.</para>
<para>Example: <programlisting filename=".cpp"><codeline><highlight class="normal"><ref refid="namespacepmt_1a94a208b58dc16675b02674c28784d88b" kindref="member">pmt::pmt_t</ref><sp/>command<sp/>=<sp/><ref refid="namespacepmt_1a7ab95721db5cbda1852f13a92eee5362" kindref="member">pmt::cons</ref>(<sp/></highlight><highlight class="comment">//<sp/>Make<sp/>a<sp/>pair</highlight><highlight class="normal"></highlight></codeline>

<para>This PMT would set the frequency to 1.1 GHz on all channels. We make use of the <ref refid="namespacepmt_1a90faad6086ac00280e0cfd8bb541bd64" kindref="member">pmt::mp()</ref> function which automatically sets the PMT types. Assume we only want to set the frequency on channel 1 (i.e. the second channel). In this case, we must construct a dictionary: <programlisting filename=".cpp"><codeline><highlight class="normal"><ref refid="namespacepmt_1a94a208b58dc16675b02674c28784d88b" kindref="member">pmt::pmt_t</ref><sp/>command<sp/>=<sp/><ref refid="namespacepmt_1aba10563e3ab43b8d52f9cb13132047cf" kindref="member">pmt::make_dict</ref>();</highlight></codeline>

</programlisting></para>
<para>This command structure becomes more intuitive when thinking of sending the command PMT as a function call, where the key/value pairs are argument names and values, respectively. In the above example, the behaviour is the same as if calling <programlisting filename=".py"><codeline><highlight class="normal">usrp_source.set_center_freq(freq=1.1e9,<sp/>chan=1)</highlight></codeline>
</programlisting> The main difference is that we can add more properties to the same command PMT, e.g. as such: <programlisting filename=".cpp"><codeline><highlight class="comment">//<sp/>&apos;command&apos;<sp/>is<sp/>the<sp/>same<sp/>PMT<sp/>as<sp/>in<sp/>the<sp/>previous<sp/>example</highlight><highlight class="normal"></highlight></codeline>

<para>Frequently, your application may need a sample rate that is not supported by the UHD device. If you have extra CPU power to spare, you can easily set the sample rate you want, then ask the device what the actual sample rate set was. Then, you can easily create an arbitrary resampler to take care of the difference.</para>

<para>gr-uhd will emit log messages when unexpected events occur.</para>
<para>For under- and overflows, as well as command time errors, since these tend to happen in high-rate scenarios, such errors are counted for logging intervals. The first error after a time longer than the logging interval has passed is logged immediately, but subsequent log entries are accumulated.</para>
<para>The logging interval can be configured using the GNU Radio preferences framework (i.e. gnuradio.conf file), as follows:</para>

</programlisting></para>
<para>It is an integer that defaults to 750, representing the minimum number of milliseconds between logged under-, overflow events or command time errors. </para>
