[Discuss-gnuradio] Timing & Sources

[Michael Hill]

I've been through many GRC companion tutorials, which show how to get various sources up and running, but what if I want to have an input source that has a straight line or parabola where the value varies based on a time from a 0 to 5 count?


Using existing blocks can I easily implement a formula input based on the time?

E.g. One thing I want to do is have trigger occurring every 5 seconds.
Is there a better way to do this then say having a 
Source 'Sinwave' with a frequency of 1/5Hz 
feeding along with a 'Parameter' (set to -1) into an 'Add block' 
which then feeds into a binary splitter?
