Sample sink plugins (Tx devices)

Sample sink plugins

SDRangel can produce I/Q samples to be sent to a hardware device or a file. The plugins documented here are:

Audio output

his output plugin sends its samples to an audio device. The user interface is described here

BladeRF classic Output plugin

This plugin is used to send the I/Q data to the transmitter (Tx) side of a BladeRF classic (v.1 or first generation) device. The user interface is described here

BladeRF 2.0 micro Output plugin

This plugin is used to send the I/Q data to the transmitter (Tx) side of a BladeRF 2.0 micro (second generation) device. The user interface is described here

File Output plugin

This plugin is used to write the generated I/Q data to a file in .sdriq format i.e. S16LE complex samples with a header giving the center frequency (arbitrary), sample rate and starting time stamp. More information with a description of the user interface can be found here

HackRF Output plugin

This plugin is used to send the I/Q data to the transmitter (Tx) side of a HackRF device. The user interface is described here

LimeSDR Output plugin

This plugin is used to send the I/Q data to the transmitter (Tx) side of a LimeSDR device. Both Tx channels can run concurrently in the same SDRangel instance. The user interface is described here

Local Output plugin

This plugin is used to send the I/Q data to another device set in the same instance of SDRangel. A corresponding local source channel must exist in the destination device set to receive the samples. The user interface is described here

PlutoSDR Output plugin

This plugin is used to send the I/Q data to the transmitter (Tx) side of a PlutoSDR device. The user interface is described here

Remote output plugin

This plugin is used to send the generated I/Q data to a remote SDRangel instance where a remote source channel is receiving the samples. Transmission is done over UDP with FEC protection against possible lost blocks. The user interface is described here.

SoapySDR output plugin

This output sample sink plugin sends its samples to a device interfaced with SoapySDR. The user interface is described here.

Test sink plugin

This output sample sink plugin displays the generated I/Q data in a spectrum display and can be used for testing to evaluate the resulting I/Q flow that would be sent to a real device. The user interface is described here.

USRP output plugin

This output sample sink plugin sends its samples to a USRP device. It was tested with a B210 model but may work with other radios. The user interface is described here.

XTRX output plugin

This output sample sink plugin sends its samples to a XTRX device. Support is experimental, designed for Linux and available only from source. The user interface is described here.
