Agree the throttle it not the best solution. David - what is your
source, and what problem are those 1000's of vectors causing at startup?

Jeff,
If there is a hardware device like a USRP in the chain, then you should
not use a throttle block. What you are seeing is the initial startup
burst. When everything starts up, all the buffers are empty, and GNU
Radio will generate data until something backs up. Once they fill up,
you are seeing the rate settle down. This is all normal.
If you really need to rate limit what gets requested of the database
during the initial transient (which I don't recommend), you should do
that within your source block.

Should have mentioned ... set the throttle rate just slightly higher
than what the chain would consume at steady state when all the
buffers are filled and the USRP is transmitting. How well this works
depends on what the rest of the chain looks like.

Use a throttle block immediately after your source block,
setting the
vector size to match your source.

Dear All,
I am wondering how to add some flow control to a source
block, so that
it doesn’t fire out items so quickly.
Later stages of my flow graph are slowed by various bits of
processing
and combining, before transmission via USRP, with bursts being
transmitted every few seconds.
What happens is that the block fires out 1,000s of vectors,
and then
seems to slow down and settle into sync with the rest of the
flow graph
after a few seconds. As my source block is reading in from a
Database, I
want to slow this initial rate significantly.
The block outputs vectors of bytes (v_len=144). Any ideas?
Regards,
David
