Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Separate samples from 2 receive channels (Josh Blum)

[Dekst]

Hi, Josh,

Thanks a lot! Yes, after reading the rx_multi_samples.cpp, I understand that each channel has a buffer and they are placed in a vector buff_ptrs.

For people who may want to use this example in the future, you need to add codes for setting frequency, gain, and antenna. Current example only sets sampling rate for ALL channels. If you want to tune the channel to a certain frequency, you need set_rx_freq(freq, chan) for EACH channel; otherwise you cannot receive what you want as I was stumped.

You might want to look at rx_multi_samples.cpp as an example of a
streamer w/ multiple channels. Basically, the recv() call will fill 2
buffers in this case, not one. In other words, the data is not interleaved.

I also recommend using the gnuradio companion. You can make a simple
flow graph with a USRP source with two output stream and simply connect
2 file sinks.
