NI: Meet the USRP Makers
summary
Choose this if you care about concrete hardware and software progress: the X410 uses a super-het IF architecture (higher-rate ADCs, IF filter banks) to deliver cleaner in-band spectra at the cost of four synthesizers and 40+ filters per channel; new firmware/hardware adds on-board monitoring (voltages, multiple temperature sensors, fan control), replaces SD with eMMC, upgrades GPIO to 100 Mbps with selectable I/O voltages, experiments with C++/CLR .NET UHD bindings, and is implementing 100 Gbps Ethernet over QSFP28 (prelim: 32 Gbps host←X410, 64 Gbps host→X410).
