Thanks for the response Fabian. Actually, there is no "actual" problem, the system is working properly.
My question is related to what you said in your mail "*One exception here is for example your PlutoSDR Source/Sink - both will actually provide/require the sample rate you specify.*" In this case, I'm not sure Pluto Sink is provided with 61.44 M samples. Vector source outputs 6.144 k samples since LPF interpolation is 1 Pluto sink block receives that number. I think that the input sample rate is not related to sample rate parameter in the Pluto Sink block. It is related to the data transfer rate between AD9363 and FPGA.
