Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] BER Example - With QT Gui Chooser for Different Modulations Issue

[Luis Felipe Albarracin Sanchez]

Hello Cinaed, Discussion List,

Once again thank you for the response,

Please believe me that i have gone through tutorials, and i have understood that in the python Top block i could enable/disable blocks, i also went through this specific one for modulations:

https://wiki.gnuradio.org/index.php/Guided_Tutorial_PSK_Demodulation

An you are totally correct regarding how to modulate properly,  nevertheless what i am trying to do is that while the flowgraph is running, to switch the modulation (even if is not totally tuned) and that i can see that modulation in the QT  GUI.

That´s why, if you take a look at my flowgraph you see how I create a QT Chooser so I can select the modulation.

My main problem is that i can not get it to work, it does not switch to other modulation when I switch in the QT Gui while I run the flowgraph.

I would appreciate any ideas regarding this, and also i f you (Cianed) could describe me a little more how a Hierarchical Block could help me in this.

Once again thank you all.

Kind regards.

Those examples presume you have already gone through the tutorials.

Right click on the Constellation Object, and there's a pull down menu
under Constellation Type  - select the one you want.

If that's not what you're looking for then you have to figure out how to
do whatever it is you want to do. And it may require creating a
hierarchical block.

My advice is to work through the tutorials.
