A .cfile is a binary file with 32-bit floating point numbers
representing IQ values. It's pretty much a GNU Radio thing and means
"complex file". The reason you're seeing zeros in every floating point
number is that your capturing from a device with only 8 bits of
precision. But the test files were generated from the GNU Radio DVB-T
transmitter with full floating point precision.
The 8-bit samples get normalized to +/- 1, so the floating point values
can only be 1/128, 2/128, etc. The floating point representation of
1/128 is 00 00 00 3C, 2/128 is 00 00 80 3C, 3/128 is 00 00 C0 3C and so on.

Hi Ron
The signal I am using has been measured with an electromagnetic field
meter. Power, BER, MER and impulse response have values well above the
average
I have been analyzing the files with baudline and there is a curious
thing in the bitmaps
While adv16.cfile and adv64.cfile have the format:
xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx
My files have the format:
0000 xxxx 0000 xxxx 0000 xxxx 0000 xxxx
The x, of course, is a hexadecimal value
Maybe that's the problem, I've been looking for information about
cfile files but I have not found almost anything. If you want I can
send you some file recorded by me with gqrx or with osmosdr and filesink
Best regards
