i tried to validate the radio setup of usrp x310. i used Wireless testbench support package for NI USRP Radios. what can be interpreted with this error? in what scenario, it can impact? and is there any way to rectify this.

Hi Mohammad,
The test that has failed here is quite simple. It creates a sine wave at 1/8 of the sampling rate using a dsp.SineWave System object , then transmits it and receives it using the basebandTransceiver object. The received data is analysed using a spectrumAnalyzer object to find the tone frequency that has been received.
There are a few things that could cause this issue, mostly down to your local environment or hardware setup. Did you have antennas or a loopback cable attached to the radio? Did you use an attenuator with a loopback cable? If the received power was not sufficient, the transmit tone may have been lost in the noise, or if there was a large interferer it may have been picked up instead.
You do not need to worry too much about this, you can still continue in the setup wizard to create a radio object and use the rest of the product. I have attached a script that will let you run the same test as the setup wizard, which may help you debug.
Kind regards,
Neil
