Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Metafile Sink Execution Time

[Jonathan Fox]

Got rid of it and it sped things up considerably. I think the whole reason why I had it there in the first place was to prevent sample overruns.

Thanks for the help.

First thing, get rid of the throttle.  It is only needed in *simulations*.  In graphs with real hardware, everything is "paced" by the hardware.

How long it takes for the Metafile Sink to began recording data?

I have a "No GUI" script that is a simple USRP source, throttle, and metafile sink. All have a 1M sample rates; the metafile sink has a relative rate of change of 1, 1M segment size, and have a detached header.

I start my script up I get the usually GNU Radio feed back (e.g. "Opening a USRP2/N-Series device..."), I get the "Press Enter to quit:", however post processing of collected meta data has shown that I can not immediately start my data collection as it won't collect the leading edge of the signal, I need to wait several seconds before proceeding. Why does this happen and is it possible to get a prompt on when the metafile sink has started recording?

Thanks,

Jon
