Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] consuming all inputs, small outputs

[Jon West]

Well in regards to the general block, in my attempts at learning, I noticed that noutput_items is less than ninput_items, what happens to the samples not used? I just ask because the tutorial block is a general block

Hi Jon,

I am trying to create a block that outputs one number from each chucnk of data it takes in, I would like to output this number and be able to use it in visualizations, what would the best block be for this?

Sounds like a "keep 1 in N" situation, so maybe that; documentation at [1].

Would a decimation block work?

Yes. you could for example use a decimating FIR filter (if you don't want to write a block of your own), and just set the taps to [1.0], if you just want to keep the numbers as they were in the original sample stream. Of course, if you want to do decimation, you'd just try to use an appropriate low pass filter.

what if I would like to out put three numbers from one chunk of input and visualize those (lets say I'm doing an autocorellation and would like to know  sample number I found the highest correlation and the size of the correlation peak) and I want to plot them.

Well, [2] is "keep M in N".

Thanks, I'm finding this all REALLY confusing and every time I try something I am just running in to problems.

Hope you have your little moments of success in between :)

Greetings,
Marcus
