Okay, I will try to describe my problem a little better. I have a
block that estimates some properties on a received signal: Frequency
and phase. Lets call the block acquisition. The acquisition block
outputs the estimates at 1kHz. Now what I want to do is grab these
estimates and use them to update the center frequency and code delay
in another block, lets call it tracking :).

I have tried to use probe_signal_f, but this does not work because the
acquisition and tracking block must be synchronized.
