Time Accuracy between Rx1 & Rx2

Quote from AdminTC on 10/10/2024, 15:59Hello there,
I am working on an application, which reads Rx1 and Rx2. I need to read them as simulations as possible due to a later need to time align samples. Which settings would I need for such a setup?
The sampling clock is slowly adapted to stay in synch with the apllication/system clock, thus you may see some roughness at packet boundaries. It is possible to use the device clock instead of the system clock using the "Stream Clock = Oscillator" config.
Even better for your case might be the "Receiver Channels = Rx12" operation mode which splits the two IQ streams in the processing chain, guaranteeing sychronous time stamps for both Rx/streams.

We are reading the IQ data via Rx12. We are then applying a split signal to the two Rx inputs at the same time. However, upon analyzing the data, we see that sometimes we see a delay between the Rx1 and Rx2 data and other times there is no delay and the signals are perfectly aligned. Even when no physical changes were made to the setup nor changes to the control. Is there a reason that this delay appears/disappears sometimes? Is it a problem of the computer or the SPECTRANV6?
Thank you

Packages can be dropped if the USB speed does not catch up.
