[Discuss-gnuradio] USRP CODEC loopback error with B210

[Daniel Marlow]

Hello,

  We have been experiencing occasional "CODEC loopback test" failures when 
using a B210.
A very similar problem was reported at

http://lists.ettus.com/pipermail/usrp-users_lists.ettus.com/2015-September/015645.html

In our case* the problem happens roughly once per every 20 attempts.  We were 
able to 
workaround the problem using a "try . . . except" block in the python code
that instantiates the top_block module, but would like to know if there is a 
better solution.

Sincerely,
Dan Marlow
