Radio Setup

Connect and set up your radio and manage radio setup configurations

Since R2022a

Description

Add-On Required: This feature requires the Wireless Testbench Support Package for NI USRP Radios add-on.

Before you can start interacting with RF signals using Wireless Testbench™ features and a supported NI™ USRP™ radio, you must set up your radio by following the steps in the Radio Setup wizard. For a list of supported radios, see Supported Radio Devices.

The Radio Setup wizard leads you through several steps. If you close the Radio Setup wizard at any time, you can start the wizard again with the radioSetupWizard function. If you encounter issues, these troubleshooting topics outline possible solutions:

If you have a Windows® host, see Configure Network Settings on Windows Host for manual steps to configure your network adapter settings to optimize the connectivity and performance of the network connection.

The Radio Setup wizard enables you to save and manage saved radio setup configurations that enable Wireless Testbench workflows. Access your radio setup configurations or create a radio object for a radio setup configuration by using the radioConfigurations function.

Note

  • If you are using a Mac operating system, you cannot save a radio setup configuration.

  • Saved radio setup configurations are persistent across MATLAB® sessions. You must run the Radio Setup wizard again only if you want to set up a new radio or you want to manage saved radio setup configurations.
