I did some more research on the topic to get some ideas. Now it seems there are two possibilities to send control signals between the blocks: 1. Use a message queue and a watcher thread like in the digital example pkt.py 2. Use a probe block like gr.probe_avg_mag_sqrd and an endless while loop

Hi, The way I do it is with infinite while loop, and a state machine. Once I get to certain state, I lock the top-block and reconfigure it. This works well during testing. Once you get some kind of protocol or some series of steps that you want to do, you can just test a flag, and whenever

Hi Scott, This works well during testing. Once you get some kind of protocol or some series of steps that you want to do, you can just test a flag, and whenever your block finishes set it to true, then reconfigure. What do you mean with your block finishes ? How do you implement this flags?

So you have to reach some state that makes you want to reconfigure, e.g. you finished scanning some particular band or some time limit is reached. Whenever you reach the point that you want to reconfigure, set a flag, then check for the flag in your main application. My typical program flow

The issue isn't duration- its when the flowgraph shuts down- as the other thread from someone else is experiencing- it seems to be when the flowgraph calls lock()/unlock() and stop(). It also only occurs on bi-directional flowgraphs. But I do agree that there's an improper shutdown- though I
