Hello,
I have run into a problem using flow_graph stop(). To test the
problem, I wrote a quick test script that simply sinks a tone to the
USRP (test_tone.py).
Hi Jonas,
Can you send me the complete script off the list?
Hi Eric,
Thanks for your response! I have attached test_tone.py, which since my
last post I have checked and changed slightly, but the problem doesn't
seem to be there.
BTW, what are you really trying to accomplish?
I am developing a USRP Server computer that can be controlled from any
client computer, (clients run Matlab under Windows). Clients require the
ability to terminate running flow graphs, hence my requirement for
stop(). To test the stop() functionality (independent of my threaded
server code) I am running test_tone.py in the python interpreter.
from test_tone import *
tone = test_tone()
tone.start()
The only way I can get the USRP to actually stop transmitting something
is to delete my instantiated test_tone object. Calling stop() stops the
tone but the USRP still transmits something (difference between actually
being off and pretending to be off is 40 dB).
Also, can you figure out how to get rid of this signature?
It's not appropriate for posting to what is obviously a public mailing
list.
I am sorry about the signature but unfortunately it is attached as it
leaves. Maybe I should setup an external email address.
Eric
Thanks for your help,
