Thanks Eric, Juha, and Michael- to get 3 helpful responses within an hour of sending a post is truly amazing, particularly considering the time of the year. I should have elaborated in my post. I tried the gr.head approach, but I'm not sure it works in my application- I'm using the approach

You cannot do this continuously with any of the default blocks (to my knowledge). But I have written a filesink a while back that chops the data stream into files of specified size. http://mep.fi/juha/gnuradio.html I have used this for a couple of months and recorded terabytes of baseband signals

Hi all- has anybody implemented a control whereby the user can limit how long or how many points gets acquired by a gnuradio application? If so I'd appreciate any pointers! I've got an app where I'm storing samples to file and I'd like to control how many points go into each data file. tha

[Discuss-gnuradio] USRP Dynamic Range and 8 Bit Problem

Hi, 1) Using high accuracy function generator and USRP with Basic-RX, I tried to investigate the dynamic range of this board. The following behaver was obtained (0 dB gain was used in all experiments with decimation of 8): a) With Sinewave signal at frequency =250KHz and 0dBm input power to Bas
