   but this hasn’t been tested)
 * National Instruments LabVIEW 2009 (or higher)
 * LabVIEW USRP Driver Pre-Release (the software included with this
   guide)
 * Modulation Toolkit for LabVIEW is optional, but recommended, as it
   is required by some of the examples included with this driver 

 * At least one Ettus Research USRP2 (Universal Software Radio
   Peripheral 2)
 * USRP2 compatible RF daughter module. (The XCVR 2450 and WBX
   daughter modules have been tested with this pre-release software.
   Other modules may also be supported, but their operation hasn’t
   been confirmed.)
 * Gigabit Ethernet interface for your host computer (one per USRP2
   recommended)
 * Ethernet cable (one per connected USRP2, gigabit capable Cat 5 / 6)
 * Host computer that meets the requirements for your version of LabVIEW

I’m excited to announce the immediate availability of pre-release driver software to enable use of the Ettus Research Universal Software Radio Peripheral 2 (USRP 2) with National Instruments LabVIEW on Microsoft Windows. With LabVIEW and Windows support, the new driver software offers an accessible alternative to Linux-based Python and C++ programming for PC-hosted software defined radio (SDR), spectral monitoring and other communications applications. The pre-release driver is available for download on the National Instruments website through this link: http://decibel.ni.com/content/groups/join-group!input.jspa?socialGroup=1277. When you visit the link, you will be asked to login to your ni.com account and will need to register for a free account if you don’t already have one. After logging in, please request to join the ni.com community group “RT Communications & Signal Processing Algorithm Design.” We will approve your membership in this online community and you'll be able to download the driver, ask questions, and find new examples. The download includes instructions for installation, setup, and use of the driver software and included examples. I've copied the software and hardware requirements follow my signature line in this email. Please note that this is pre-release software, and that a more complete / tested version of the driver is under development now. We are making this pre-release software available now for those with high interest in programming the USRP 2 in Windows. We are also interested in gathering your feedback related to working with the driver and with the LabVIEW environment for programming the USRP 2. Note that as this is pre-release software, it should not be used in deployed applications, forward API compatibility is not guaranteed, and functionality may be limited / incomplete.

Matt, I know this is mostly on the NI side, but do you have an idea of when this will work with the N210? Also, is this seen as a windows only option for the long term?

It does already, it just hasn't had as much testing. > Also, is this seen as a windows only option for the long term? Do you mean that your desired environment is LabVIEW under Linux? If so, that has not been tested. The effort has concentrated on LabVIEW under Windows. Matt
