[Discuss-gnuradio] Same File Size

2010-09-29 Thread Justin Bracken
Hello All,

I am expecting to see a similiar file size in a simple test file that im
running and I don't get that. Is there something Im missing?

USRP2-FileSink
SignalSource-Throttle-FileSink

I have checked obvious things. The USRP2 block is set to a decimation of
400. Given the 100MS/s rate of the USRP2 I expect the stream to be 250e3
MS/s. So I set the overall sample rate to 250e3. I have also set the
datatypes of all the blocks to floats. The Throttle is set to 250e3.

If it matters the  signal source is set to a saw tooth,1Hz.

Im more interested in knowing that samples read back out of the files are
synchronized. So I guess it doesn't matter if they are the same length if
all this mean is that I need to trim the files to the same length.

Thanks,
Justin

If you want a particular number of samples in a file, etc., 
use gr.head.

Generally you SHOULD NOT be using throttle.

throttle causes so much confusion, I'm of the opinion that we should
remove it from the code base.

Are the samples in the files synced? I.e. The sample at index 1 in
file1 is recorded at the same time as the sample at index 1 in file2?

In which case file length is irrelevant.

If throttle is removed then how can we prevent the cpu being used up if
there is not rate limiting block in the flowgraph ?
