Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Some Basic USRP questions

[Dimitris Symeonidis]

1) uO means usrp overrun, i.e. the usrp had more data to send, but the
host computer was not fast enough to accept it and calculate it, so it
was dropped. setting the decimation rate to its maximum value does
decrease the processing load on your cpu, but on old systems or very
"heavy" flowgraphs your cpu might still be overloaded. try closing any
other programs running (e.g. don't watch youtube videos at the same
time)

2) no, the decimation and interpolation rates don't need to be equal,
but their combined values need to not saturate the usb 2.0 bus
