Hi, The main gtk thread needs to refresh an image widget (for status indication, GREEN or RED) along with a couple of 'status variables' e.g Block/Symbol error rate using labels. There is a start button in the GUI associated with a data acquisition routine that computes the value of the aforesaid variables and in a busy while loop. All I want is to compute the average varibale value, say for last 1000 iterations, and display on the GUI after every 100 ms or so. cheers, Adeel

Do you want to refresh a widget, or anything else?
