RTL-SDR Demo FM Receiver

Hi,

I would like to test the demo FMReceiverExample.m and I got the following error:

>> FMReceiverExample

> Specify run time in seconds [10.800000]: 10

> Enter signal source.

> 1) File

Error using comm.SDRRTLReceiver/checkForError

Cannot create a driver for the specified address. The

address '0' is already owned by a block, block dialog, or

System object. Stop the simulation, close the open

dialog, or call the release method of the System object

to allow a new owner to be assigned.

Error in comm.SDRRTLReceiver/setupImpl

Error in FMReceiverExample (line 117)

[rcv,~,lost,late] = sigSrc();

How can I overcome this failure?

Best regards,

This error occurs when the radio hardware is already in use by another MATLAB session. Release the radio hardware by calling the release method of the System object.

release(obj) 

.Refer to the below link to know more about release function.

You can also close the running MATLAB Session , restart MATLAB and setup radios again
