Forum: GNU Radio File Source/sink

Hi everyone
Quick question.. i know GRC can read any file extension i.e. *.txt, but 
how
can i see the data i save on a file sink? to be clear let me try a quick
test.. randomsource-->throttle-->filesink..
when i try to see the exit of the random source my gedit says thats it
doesn't recognize the format..
thanks

Basically, you're writing a binary file, so a text reader won't know 
what
to do with it (you could use emacs in hexl mode, though).

There are a handful of plotting tools in the current releases of GNU 
Radio
that you can use, named gr_plot_xxx (where xxx = float, int, iq, const,
etc.). These use scipy.fromfile to read in the binary data.
