The recorded file was only about 80MB for 10 seconds of recording, and FFT playback was static. Without using the low pass filter, I was seeing a bunch of 'D' (I think) markers, and my playback was choppy. Nick Foster wrote: What was the size of the recorded file on the RAM disk? Are you seeing

Nick: I tried downsampling the 25MHz to 10, but still was not recording the whole time I ran (about 10 seconds, with only a couple seconds of playback). That was when I tried using a RAM disk, albeit at 50 downsampled to 30. I am using the following for my disk: mount -o size=1G -t tmpfs none /mn

Paul, 30MHz is a big chunk of data to be streaming to anything. A 4GB ramdisk will be full in 30 seconds at this rate. Do you really not know *a priori* where in the whole 0-30MHz spectrum your signal will be? I notice now in your first post that you're streaming 25Msps with a low-pass filter to

I finally got around to trying writing to RAM, and the result is worse - my replay FFT is static. I am trying to record a chunk of spectrum (in this case the shortwave chunk, 0-30MHz) and then go back and look at small pieces to find my specific data. If someone can provide insight into how to do

I agree with Nick: that VOLK stuff is all expected behavior. If you're trying to write to a file at high rates you should look in to using a ramdisk/tmpfs. You'll be limited by how much RAM you have rather than IO speed. However, based on your other threads I wonder if you've taken Tom's recent su

Your file sink only records a few seconds of data because your hard drive can't keep up, not because of any problem with Volk. The Volk machine being used does not indicate which particular architecture is used for each kernel -- that isn't printed at runtime. --n On Nov 24, 2013 9:58 PM, "Paul B.

When running with a USRP source at 25M and a low pass filter down to 10MHz, I get something saying "Using Volk machine: sse4_a_64", and my file sink only records a couple seconds of data.
