Hello,
I have a python program that does some signal processing on packets collected with the USRP and flowgraph. Inside the constructor of my python class, I create an instance of my top-block object. I'm trying to use the QtGui sink to display the spectrum while the processing is going on. My constructor to my python class looks like:
def __init__(self, **kwargs):
internal variables ....
self._tb= top_block_ctor( **args )
self._tb.start()
self._tb.qapp.exec_()
My problem is the blocking that occurs with the qapp.exec_(). If I remove that line in my constructor, then my processing works fine (without the display). If I leave that line, then my spectrum display works, but I don't start the processing until I close the display. I know that this is what the 'blocking' should do.
However, I would like it to not block or somehow run in another thread so that the display is "live" while the processing is going on.
Is there a way to do this? I could not fine any examples on-line.
Thanks
