Install the USRP (Windows)

Two drivers are proposed for donwload:

[Driver-3.0.4.zip] corresponding to version 3.0.4 of GNU radio. The matlab and scilab toolboxes work with this driver version. GNU radio 3.1.3 scripts do not work with this version
[Driver-3.1.3.zip] corresponding to version 3.1.3 of GNU radio. The matlab and scilab toolboxes do not work with this driver version, but GNU radio 3.1.3 scripts work with this version.

You have to choose the driver version in function of what you expect to do with your USRP. Note that you can switch from one driver to the other one by removing the driver.

1. Install process

The install process is the following one:

Download the driver file and unzip it in a folder that you are able to find back.
Plug your USRP on the PC. Windows detects a new peripheral
Choose to not connect to Windows Update
Choose to select the location of the drivers manually
Select the directory where you have unzipped the driver archive
And it should work well !

2. Check if the install process worked well

If all operations have been successfull, you should be able to see the USRP filter in a hardware management page:
