Thanks Eric, Juha, and Michael-
to get 3 helpful responses within an hour of sending a post is truly
amazing, particularly considering the time of the year.
I should have elaborated in my post. I tried the gr.head approach, but
I'm not sure it works in my application- I'm using the approach of the
astronomy guys, with a control button that turns on and off from /dev/null
to a file descriptor. So if I use gr.head, correct me if I'm wrong, but I
believe it immediately sends the number of samples specified to /dev/null.
I don't think that way is compatible with the approach I'm using, which I
ripped off from usrp_psr_receiver.py.
So you know what I'm doing, I'm using the USRP as a pseudo digital
oscilloscope with a capture to file option. When I see something I like
in the scope, I hit the "capture to file" button. It works great, but
currently I have to look at my watch to capture comparably sized samples.
Perhaps there's a way of incorporating a timed capture (or fixed number of
samples to this model?
thanks again so much.

Hi all-
has anybody implemented a control whereby the user can limit how long or
how many points gets acquired by a gnuradio application? If so I'd
appreciate any pointers! I've got an app where I'm storing samples to file
and I'd like to control how many points go into each data file.
thanks,
eric
Hi Eric,
We generally use gr.head for this.
See gr-utils/src/python/usrp_rx_cfile.py
