Dear paul,luca,
Thank you for the kind response. Yes, i need the high accuracy and i think i should go with "issue_stream_cmd" method. Before i start working in this method, my concern is whether i can write the different burst in separate file. My main conern is written file size. Because i have to record data for few minutes With my sampling rate of 25msps. I got problem of overflow when i write in normal hard disk. So i am writing data in RAM disk by which i dont get overflow. Due to size limitation of the Ram disk, i will not be able to write all data in one file. If i write in different file, i can move previous files back to hard disk and proceed. If there is a way of writing in a file for 3/4 minutes with 25msps without overflow , i dont need burst reception also. I appreciate your opinion Best regards, Deepak On Sun, May 21, 2017 at 6:24 PM Paul I. <paulneli...@gmail.com> wrote: > You need to use USRP "issue_stream_cmd" method (mode: > STREAM_MODE_NUM_SAMPS_AND_DONE).
