[Discuss-gnuradio] Josh: suggestion for GRC

[Marcus D. Leech]

[Like you need suggestions :-) ]

When setting the USRP word-length format, it would be useful to set the
SHIFT and WIDTH parameters separately in the
  USRP objects (both single and dual).

The valid values for WIDTH are {0,1}
The valid values for SHIFT are {0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15}

I've been naively using width=8, shift=8, because my fuzzy memory left
me with the impression that the only
  valid value for shift was 8.  That no longer appears to be the case,
and at least one of my radio astronomy
  "customers" has a setup where looking at the lower 8 bits instead of
the upper 8 bits would be very useful.

Cheers
