Hi Nate, Baudline was my first software spectrum analyzer, 2 yrs ago, until gr-fosphor came out and I switched. Used it close to a year. Right now I'm building gnuradio 3.7.9.1 since 3.7.6.1 has a few blocks missing. Then i plan to continue with my RFNoC work, while Xilinx evaluation licenses are

Hi Nikos, Glad to hear that it is working. As far as it displaying a black screen, that is because baudline isn't representing enough dynamic range for the USRP. A little trick, if you add a Multi Const block before the baudline sink, and enter a value of 1000 or 1, it will artificially inc

That did it. Thank you all very much. I didn't get any real spectrum out of it, just a black screen, but at least i know that my companion flow setup works:) I prefer gr-fosphor to baudline:) I hope that other blocks include more documentation (baudline sink has none), and that error messages are

Hi Nikos, You need the baudline binary which is here [1]. It will unpack to the folder baudline_1.08_linux_x86_64/. Put the contents in the folder baudline_1.08_linux_x86_64/ in your home directory. You should then be able to call the command "baudline" and if that works, the GR sink block shou

Hi Nikos, Does baudline start if you just run the command "baudline" from the terminal? Can you send the output of this command: ls -al /home/nikos/baudline_1.08_linux_x86_64 ​ - Nate > On Mar 8, 2016, at 8:33 PM, Nikos Balkanas wrote: > > Hi Marcus, > > I imagine you mean the top_block.p

Hi Nikos, - You should use the UHD: USRP Source block with the x300, instead of the Osmocom Source - Try setting a higher sample rate to start with, 1e6 instead of 32e3 - You need to add the location of baudline to your $PATH variable, you can do so by adding the line below to your ~/.bashrc fil
