Hi Rich,
being really surprised:
I think it would be nice if we knew a bit more about the signal
processing part of your flow graph.
What does it rely on? Pure Sample Streams? Stream Tags? Message Passing?
Old-Style Message queues?
Best regards,
Marcus

I've come across a really unexpected correlation this morning that I'm
hoping someone has an explanation for. I have a large flow graph with
many QT GUI blocks because I'm debugging a design. Mostly Time Sinks
and Constellations plots with a couple of Frequency Sinks thrown in.
The number of points in some of the time sinks is rather large, on the
order of 30k, which allows me to see several packets of data at once.
What I noticed this morning, while debugging a BPSK loopback BER
tester, is by disabling a number of Constellation plots which were fed
by RRC filters to make the plot pretty, errors went away. The system
works as you would expect a simulation with no noise or channel
effects to work, perfectly. When I enable those GUI blocks, the system
looses packet synchronization within the first minute consistently.
Nothing is changed in the data stream between these tests.
So the question is, is there a known cap on GUI plots? Like I said, I
have a lot of them and some of them are plotting a large number of
points. Could this be causing buffers overruns into data spaces or
something scary like that?
Another thought I had, could there be an identity problem in which GNU
Radio at some point can't uniquely identify blocks with the same name
apart from each other and thus chooses one in some default manner? I'm
imagining a plotting stream getting crossed with a data stream in some
way.
The bottom line is all I need to do to make this system work is
disable some plotting only related blocks. Is there a known plotting
cap issue that I should be aware of?
Thanks,
Rich
