Range of samples values

I am trying to capture data samples from USRP for an FM receiver. In
what
range should the values of the samples must be lying?

-32768 to 32767

I set my decimation rate to 200 and center_freq to 100.1, but the values
of
my samples is exceeding this range. Please specify the mistake that I’d
be
making. Following are the values of my samples:6029427

This is very hard to do without any information at all regarding how
you captured the samples.

My first guess would be that you are doing on of the following:

Your flowgraph is modifying the values out of the usrp

  • or - (more likely)

Whatever tool you are using to read in the samples is not doing so
correctly.

If you are using Linux I would install Octave and use the scripts in
“{trunk}/gnuradio/gnuradio-core/src/utils” to read the saved data from
a file_sink into Octave and check if you are still getting the same
kind of data.

And I am basically trying to perform this task through Windows, but even
when i run the same code on Linux, it is giving me the same values.

Is there a way that I can view some of the data samples when the GNU
Radio
is running FM radio? That way I would be able to compare the actual data
values that should be coming, and the values that I am getting through
the
interface I am using.
