USRP1 simple data capture in C++ example (UHD)
The code below streams data using the UHD at 1MSPS. It just prints the first 2 datapoints to the screen but can be used as the basis for other stuff. It’s also worth checking out rx_samples_to_file.cpp in the UHD source, but this example removes a lot of the cruft. Can be compiled with:
g++ rx.cpp -luhd -o rx

#include <uhd/utils/thread_priority.hpp>
#include <uhd/utils/safe_main.hpp>

usrp->set_clock_source("internal"); // set clock
//always select the subdevice first, the channel mapping affects the other settings
usrp->set_rx_subdev_spec(string("A:A"));
std::cout << "Using Device: " << usrp->get_pp_string() << std::endl;
double rate = 1000000; // trying 1MSPS
