Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Dimension of the y axis using usrp_oscope.py

You'll need to read the datasheet for the ADC. It's a AD9862.  From there you'll know the full range. I suspect is south of 3.3v as that's the boards power supply.
An easier solution is to use a precision function generator and calibrate. Send in a known signal and see what the graph displays. Change the known signal, rinse and repeat.

I am using a LFRX board. I know that the usrp's ADC has a resolution of
12bit, but what is the maximum value it can deal with? Unfortunately, I
haven't found any information on this issue yet.

Looking forward to further pieces of advice.
