+\subsection rdtesting_fpgadspverif_manual FPGA DSP Verification: Manual Test Procedure
+
+This procedure tests the DDC and DUC signal quality and the block's capability
+to change sample rate while streaming.
+
+#### RX testing
+
+1. Run calibration on device, if applicable
+2. Using a signal generator, inject a sine tone into RX channel 0 at 915.5 MHz @
+ -40 dBm
+3. Inspect the received spectrum using `uhd_fft`
+ - X3x0: `uhd_fft -f 915e6 -s 10e6 -g 10`
+ - E3xx: `uhd_fft -f 915e6 -s 2e6 -g 50`
+ - Embedded devices will require either using network mode or using X
+ forwarding over ssh to run the app natively
+4. In the GUI, inspect the spectrum. There should be a strong tone at the test
+ tone frequency. There may be a small tone at the carrier frequency due to DC
+ offset and a quadrature image due to IQ imbalance.
+5. Check the input tone frequencies outlined below. The tone should shift from
+ left to right as the frequency changes and may have some amplitude variation,
+ especially at the band edges.
+ - X3x0: 910 MHz to 920 MHz in 1 MHz steps
+ - E3xx: 914 MHz to 916 MHz in 200 kHz steps
+6. Set input tone back to 915.5 MHz. Check the sampling rate as outlined below.
+ The spectrum should reflect the change in sample rate.
+ - X3x0: 1, 5, 20, 33.333, 50, 66.666, 100, 200 MHz
+ - E3x0: 0.1, 0.5, 1, 1.143, 1.684 MHz
+7. Repeat on each RX channel of the device.
+8. This test fails if:
+ - DC offset and IQ imbalance tones are unusally large
+ - There are any other strong tones or spectrum distortion
+ - The spectrum changes significantly between frequencies or sample rates
+ - An initial transient distortion is acceptable
+ - Amplitude variation on the order of +/-10 dB is acceptable
+ - Console reports any of the following:
+ - Overruns 'O' if continuous and not due to host computer's lack of
+ processing performance
+ - Dropped packets 'D'
+ - Sequence number errors 'S'
+ - Timeouts
+
+#### TX testing
+
+1. Run calibration on device, if applicable
+2. Using `uhd_siggen_gui`, generate a sine tone TX channel 0 at 915.5 MHz:
+ - X3x0: `uhd_siggen_gui -f 915e6 -s 10e6 -g 10 -x 500e3 --sine`
+ - E3xx: `uhd_siggen_gui -f 915e6 -s 2e6 -g 50 -x 500e3 --sine`
+3. Using a spectrum analyzer, inspect the output spectrum. There should be a
+ strong tone at the test tone frequency. There may be a small tone at the
+ carrier frequency due to DC offset and a quadrature image due to IQ
+ imbalance.
+4. Using the GUI, test the follow offset frequencies. The tone should shift from
+ left to right as the frequency changes and may have some amplitude variation,
+ especially at the band edges.
+ - X3x0: -5 to +5 MHz in 1 MHz steps
+ - E3xx: -1 to +1 MHz in 200 kHz steps
+5. Set output tone offset back to 500e3. Change sampling rate as outlined below.
+ The spectrum should not significantly differ between sample rates.
+ - X3x0: 1, 5, 20, 33.333, 50, 66.666, 100, 200 MHz
+ - E3x0: 0.1, 0.5, 1, 1.143, 1.684 MHz
+6. Repeat on each TX channel of the device
+7. This test fails if:
+ - DC offset and IQ imbalance tones are unusually large
+ - There are any other strong tones or spectrum distortion
+ - The spectrum changes significantly between sample rates
+ - An initial transient distortion is acceptable
+ - Console reports any of the following:
+ - Underruns 'U' if continuous and not due to host computer's lack of
+ processing performance
+ - Late packets 'L'
+ - Sequence number errors 'S'

+The FPGA functional verification tests exercise the Digital Downconverter (DDC),
+Digital Upconverter (DUC), and Radio Core RFNoC blocks.
+
+\subsection rdtesting_fpgafuncverif_requirements Requirements
+
+- X300 & X310 with two daughterboards
+ - 2x UBX recommended
+ - HG tests require a single 10 GigE connection, XG requires two for the 2x RX
+ 200 MSPS test
+ - 1 GigE and PCIe adapters and cabling for optional tests
+- E310 SG1 & SG3 with SSH access
+
+\subsection rdtesting_fpgafuncverif_manual FPGA Functional Verification: Manual Test Procedure
+
+This procedure verifies that the DDC, DUC, and Radio Core can run at various sample
+rates and channel configurations without any data flow issues.
+
+1. Run `benchmark_rate` using the parameters outlined in the tables below
+2. Unless otherwise noted, to pass each test:
+ - Benchmark rate must run without reporting any of the following:
+ - Underruns 'U'
+ - Overruns 'O'
+ - Dropped packets 'D'
+ - Sequence number errors 'S'
+ - Late commands 'L'
+ - Timeouts
+ - Appropriate TX/RX LEDs must be illuminated
+3. Unless specified in 'Notes' column, use default values for unlisted
+ parameters
+4. Example commands:
+ - X3x0: `benchmark_rate --tx_rate 1e6 --rx_rate 1e6 --channels 0,1 --duration 120`
+ - E3xx: `benchmark_rate --args="master_clock_rate=10e6" --tx_rate 1e6 --rx_rate 1e6 --channels 0,1 --duration 120`
