Eric,
I am somewhat overwhelmed by the flow-graph classes. The USRP program
(tvrx_debug.py) that I started with seems to be using a different style
def main ():
app = stdgui.stdapp (app_flow_graph, '"USRP FFT")
app.MainLoop ()
things are connected up using
self.connect(src,dst)
Anyway, i did move the head earlier in the program before the fftsink - but
the file still keeps growing and growing until i stop the program.
Since i'm learning by trial and error modifications to existing code without
fully understanding the all the underlying mechanisms, any advise on which
style to use would be much appreciated. Perhaps there is an easy way to
adapt, otherwise, i'll recode it up as you suggest,
Thanks,
John

Sorry, forgot to mention that you should use fg.run()
not fg.start() followed by fg.stop(). Also be sure that head is
upstream of all of your sinks (if you're using more than one). head
effectively returns "EOF" after it has processed nsamples.
#!/usr/bin/env python
from gnuradio import gr
from gnuradio import mc4020
def build_graph():
nsamples = 2e6
input_rate = 20e6
fg = gr.flow_graph()
src = mc4020.source (input_rate, mc4020.MCC_CH3_EN | mc4020.MCC_ALL_1V)
head = gr.head(gr.sizeof_short, int(nsamples))
dst = gr.file_sink(gr.sizeof_short, 'output.dat')
fg.connect (src, head, dst)
return fg
def main():
fg = build_graph()
fg.run()
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
