Hi Marcus,
Thank you for the quick reply!
Is there any block in GRC that works with the FPGA in the USRP B210?
And I have tried lowering the transition width from 1000 to ~150 but I
still see overflow, does this means that the only solution to it is to
get a faster computer?
There are no FPGA-for-B210 blocks in Gnu Radio. That's not how Gnu
Radio works. RFNoC is an exception, but B210 is not an RFNoC-capable
radio.
Narrowing the transition width (as a fraction of sample-rate) is
precisely how you end up with really-long, hard-to-compute, filters.
Try a transition
width of 100e3, and see how that does. That's a roughly 2%
fractional bandwidth. Which, in the analog world, would be a pretty
"tight" filter.
Thank you in advanced!

Hi all,
Apparently, I tried connecting the USRP Source to a Low Pass
Filter and to a File Sink, I get overflows “OOOOOO”. However, when
I removed the LPF, there is no overflow. The question is, why is
this happening? Is the Low Pass Filter in GRC done in the FPGA or
in the computer itself? I am using USRP B210 and my sampling rate
is 6MHz.
Is there a solution to this?
Thank you in advanced!
'O' are caused by the computer not "keeping up". Gnu Radio is a
software-defined-radio framework, and all the blocks execute on the PC
host.
It is typically the case that new users make low-pass filters with
very "aggressive" transition bandwidths, which leads to a very
expensive-to-compute
filter. Try relaxing the transition bandwidth.
