The easiest way would be to create a simple Python block between the strobe
and the USRP source :
###
class frequency_sweeper(gr.sync_block):
def __init__(self, initial_freq=2.37e9, step=2e6): # only default
arguments here
gr.sync_block.__init__(
self,
name='Frequency sweeper',
in_sig=[],
out_sig=[]
)
self.message_port_register_in(pmt.intern('clock'))
self.set_msg_handler(pmt.intern('clock'), self.handler)
self.message_port_register_out(pmt.intern('sync'))
self.freq = initial_freq
self.step = step
def handler(self, pdu):
self.message_port_pub(pmt.intern('sync'),
pmt.cons(pmt.intern("freq"), pmt.to_pmt(self.freq)))
self.freq += self.step
###

Timothée.
