If you need to send a command without knowing the current timestamp, use timestamp = 0, which will always execute immediately.

With such a high decimator, I can fix it up > myself, but still, that looks weird. Which inband code are you using exactly? My inband work (which was in the ets developer branch) fixed exactly that problem. The root cause was that time-stamping was done after sample buffering, so the stamps would vary based on the buffer levels. The new code is accurate and reflects the exact value of the 64MHz counter for the first sample in the packet. There is an additional offset between rx/tx times at analog due to various signal processing stages before the time-stamping (which can vary depending on the FPGA configuration). This value is easily compensated for on the host. --Eric S. _______________________________________________ Discuss-gnuradio mailing list Discuss-gnuradio@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnuradio
