You need to use USRP "issue_stream_cmd" method (mode: STREAM_MODE_NUM_SAMPS_AND_DONE). It's allow to receive burst of data by USRP timer. If you work in GRC: 1) Disable streaming autostart for "UHD source" 2) Create your own block which will periodically issue stream commands (yes, you need to pass USRP pointer to it) a) For stream command set "num_samples" = sample_rate * 1 sec b) Read the USRP timer value, add some time offset to it and use this value as timestamp for the first stream command c) Increment timestamp after every stream command ... 3) Profit!
