Move your cursor to the top of the screen and hold it there for a second to get to the Parallels menu, as below:įigure 2, Choose Devices->Network 2-> Thunderbolt Ethernet (Bridged).
In this mode, your PC will resemble a standard windows desktop. (Note that Parallels calls this full screen mode, other virtualization software may have a different name for it.
Enter “full screen mode” mode on your virtual machine.
Power on the NI USRP and wait for it’s boot sequence to complete.
Plug the network cable into the adaptor and into the NI USRP you plan to control.
Obtain and plug in a gigabit ethernet to thunderbolt cable, which is a standard part available from Apple.
The following instructions will guide you through bridging a network connection: With this configuration, on my machine I was able to establish receive rates exceeding 20Msamples/sec using this technique. The Secret is to run a Windows 7 virtual machine on you Mac with a network interface that’s bridged to a true Gigabit Ethernet port. Our instructions focus on Parallels Desktop, but instructions for other alternatives will likely be similar.įigure 1, PC-based LabVIEW application running on a Mac OS in a virtual machine. This document walks you thorough another way of doing so using virtualization software such as Parallels Desktop or VMWare Fusion. One way to do so would be to use Bootcamp to run Windows OS natively. Nonetheless it is possible to run NI-USRP from your MacOS-based computer using several approaches. The current version of the NI USRP driver, Ver 1.1 is not available for the Mac version of LabVIEW or Mac-OS-based personal computers such as MacBook or MacBook Pro.
