[Discuss-gnuradio] USRP1 signal conditioning

[Kutik]

My goal is to implement signal conditioning algorithm. Input is the tuned
frequency, output is the optimal gain settings to utilize the full range of
ADCs with saturation below acceptable threshold.

I would like to ask for clarification regarding the over-count value. From a
thread "usrp: rssi/clipping indicator, data glitches" 
http://www.mail-archive.com/address@hidden/msg06810.html
http://www.mail-archive.com/address@hidden/msg06810.html 

I see the over-count value can be obtained like urx->_read_fpga_reg(5 +
which_adc)

The returned value 32bit: The lower 16 bits has the RSSI value, and the
upper 16 bits has the over-count value.

1) How to reset the  over-count value? urx->_write_fpga_reg (5 + which_adc,
0)

2) The over-count value counts the clipped samples. What is the period under
test? Is it number of clipped samples since reset?

3) What happens when the over-count value reaches its max (2^16)? Does it
stays at max?
