It depends on the daughterboard. SBX and WBX have a worst case settling time of about 300us according to the ADI docs. You should also be able to schedule tuning through time commands so that the window of "interruption" is explicitly between time X and X + 300us. Here is some psudo code involving using timed commands to tune: http://files.ettus.com/uhd_docs/manual/html/sync.html#align-los-in-the-front-end-sbx-wbx-n-series -josh _______________________________________________ Discuss-gnuradio mailing list Discuss-gnuradio@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnuradio
