NI-USRP utilizes portions of UHD and allows for programming in LabVIEW, NI’s flagship
intuitive development environment. The abstracted design environment helps accelerate the
design of wireless systems and makes FPGA programming accessible to those without HDL
design expertise. Using LabVIEW, you have the option to program the FPGA and host in a
single development environment. Users have the option to customize the FPGA when using
NI-USRP.
UHD uses a common, open-source software interface that increases code portability, allowing
applications to transition to other USRP SDR platforms when development requirements
expand or new platforms are available. UHD offers cross-platform support for multiple
industry-standard development environments and frameworks, including GNU Radio and
MATLAB/Simulink.
1Also requires a 1 Gb Ethernet connection to the device.

Refer to the following sections that apply to the driver of your choice to continue setting up
your device.
NI-USRP
Setting Up the Device
Ensure that all of your hardware components are powered off before installing.
1. Verify that you have all items included in your device kit and the following additional
items.
• PXIe chassis
• PXIe-8881 or other PXI controller
• PXIe-8394 or other PXI bus extension module
• Network switch
• PCIe/MXI express cable
• CAT 5E Ethernet cable
Note Alternative configurations are possible. For example, the Ettus USRP
X410 can also be set up with a host PC and PCIe-8398 instead of the PXI
chassis, PXI controller, and PXI bus extension module.
2. Set all items on a flat surface near power outlets and a modem or router.
3. Follow the instructions included with your network switch to connect it to a modem or
router.
4. Connect any additional attachments required for your project to the front panel terminals
of the Ettus USRP X410.
Installing the Modules into the Chassis
Install the PXIe-8881 or other PXI controller in the first slot of your chassis and then the
PXIe-8394 or other PXI bus extension module in a slot to the right of the controller by
completing the following steps.
1. Ensure the AC power source is connected to the chassis before installing the module.
The AC power cord grounds the chassis and protects it from electrical damage while you
install the module.
2. Power off the chassis.
3. Inspect the slot pins on the chassis backplane for any bends or damage prior to
installation. Do not install a module if the backplane is damaged.
4. Remove the black plastic covers from all the captive screws on the module front panel.
5. Identify a supported slot in the chassis. Refer to the following table to determine which
slot types the PXI controller and PXI bus extension module are compatible with. Symbols
along the bottom of the chassis indicate the slot type.

6. Touch any metal part of the chassis to discharge static electricity.
7. Ensure that the ejector handle is in the downward (unlatched) position.
8. Place the module edges into the module guides at the top and bottom of the chassis. Slide
the module into the slot until it is fully inserted.

3. Ejector handle in downward (unlatched position)
9. Latch the module in place by pulling up on the ejector handle.
10. Secure the module front panel to the chassis using the front-panel mounting screws.
Note Tightening the top and bottom mounting screws increases mechanical
stability and also electrically connects the front panel to the chassis, which can
improve the signal quality and electromagnetic performance.
11. Complete steps 5 through 10 for the PXI controller and PXI bus extension module.
12. Cover all empty slots using either filler panels (standard or EMC) or slot blockers with
filler panels, depending on your application.
Note For more information about installing slot blockers and filler panels, go
to ni.com/r/pxiblocker.
Connecting the Device (NI-USRP)
The following describes one hardware configuration option. Other configurations are possible.
Connect your hardware as shown in the following diagram.
