Generally, this falls into the realm of customizing FPGA, since there is no stock way to trigger streaming from the PPS input. However, while continuously streaming, you can poll get_time_last_pps(), which will tell you the time when you pulsed the PPS input. Use this information and the time stamps on the RX packets. -Josh _______________________________________________ Discuss-gnuradio mailing list Discuss-gnuradio@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnuradio
