I think I wasn't clear enough. When I say the format I mean the Physical
Equivalency of the output (e.g. The number x represents the point in a Time
x Frequency graph).
For now, I'm using the attached flowgraph to read a radio signal.
I need a way open the wave or the spectrogram so I can apply a Statistical
method.
As I already have the .wav so use Octave is a possibility, but I wish to
know if that's the better way.
Looks to me that use the File Sink will provide better info than the WAV,
but how can I use it for it? Should I generate the file with the File Sink
in a specific extension? Where can I open it and what is the physical
meaning of that information?
I'm using this flowgraph to read an FM signal but I wish to expand to other
kinds of electromagnetic waves in the future, is that the better way of
doing this?
I'm already opened to suggestions on the flowgraph and reading signal
process.

Best Regards
