Hi Martin, In my application I am generating a vector of amplitude values (of length 128) obtained at different frequencies. My flowgraph contains an OOT Block which is stepping the SDR and saving an amplitude value for each frequency, generating an output sample for each frequency at a time. I then convert this stream to a vector using StreamToVector and display using the vector sink which never updates the data, only the vertical axis. If I put a time sink directly after my OOT Block with the number of points set to the vector size, that works ok. My issue is I need to anotate the plot axis as frequency points, which you can freely do with the vector sink but not the time sink.
Maybe I need to reconfigure my OOT module to output a vector of length 128, rather than streaming out 128 samples ?

It's basically like the frequency sink if you had to vectorize and FFT the data yourself. So putting a time signal into the vector sink is maybe not the right thing to do, but I'm not sure what your application is exactly. There are some examples for the vector sink, maybe they help you understand the issues better. The vector sink always draws a line at 0, and another at the ref level. I'm not sure why it draws the line at 0, tbh. Who wrote this damn... oh it was me. Still, not sure why it's there.
