How to make a hier block in an OOT module

2021-02-10 Thread Ethan C 
I am trying to create a hierarchical block in an OOT module I made and save
it to the OOT module. This is so that all of the blocks in the module can
be condensed down to a single block and so the hier block will be installed
with the OOT module.
I have made and used hier blocks in the past so they are not completely
foreign to me, however I am having trouble with my current approach of
trying to copy the yaml and python files of an existing hier block into the
OOT module the same way the gr-satellites OOT module
 does it.
Any advice helps, thanks.

Re: How to use 2 N310 for TX and RX

2021-02-10 Thread Marcus D Leech 
What happens if you just use a single N310 for both TX and RX?

Just trying to figure out where the problem might be. Also please share a 
minimal flow graph that shows the problem.

How to use 2 N310 for TX and RX

2021-02-10 Thread Johannes Demel 

Hi all,

I have a flowgraph where I want to use two N310s for TX and RX.

If I run `benchmark_rate`, everything works fine.

```
./benchmark_rate --pps external --ref external --rx_channels "0,4" 
--tx_channels "2,6" --rx_rate 61.44e6 --tx_rate 61.44e6 
--args="addr0=192.168.21.218,addr1=192.168.20.213,master_clock_rate=122.88e6

```

It's important that I use one RX and one TX channel each on those USRPs.

But it seems like I can't do that with

```

```

I can share the example flowgraph. It's just a USRP source connected to 
a Qt time sink (and a Qt Freq sink). And a USRP sink that's fed by two 
Signal sources.


It works if I only have either a USRP sink or USRP source. But in case I 
try to use both. The configuration breaks with the above error. How do I 
fix this?
