Hello, For every message which you send UHD would change the gain once. So in order to alternate every 100ms you would send 10 messages a second, advancing the timestamp value by 100ms each time. The example I linked to shows the frequency and gain being changed every two seconds. You'll just need to alter the arguments to have it alternate the gain.
