Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] KD7LMO GPS sample and sample rate nomenclature

[mgray]

Either I recorded them as 64-bit floats (double) or I did the conversion
from time in seconds to samples incorrectly.  The capture script I wrote
is located at:

http://www.kd7lmo.net/ground_gnuradio_software.html

The code calls the file_sink method.  I'm not sure what units/types it 
generates.

    dst = gr.file_sink (gr.sizeof_gr_complex, filename)

    head = gr.head(gr.sizeof_gr_complex, sample_count)

    fg.connect(src, head, dst)


So the recording may be 1 seconds, instead of 500mS.
