Getting 0, Nan while using usrp2_rx_cfile.py

Hello all,

I have faced another problem here. I am really in great trouble and want
this problem to be solved as early as possible.
I am using the usrp2_rx_cfile.py to get the raw IQ data in usrp2.
I am using the following command
sudo python usrp2_rx_cfile.py -f 800M -N 1000 -d 100 -s -v output.dat

After that, I converted the .dat file using octave command
(read_complex_binary).

However, the values I am getting are ambiguous.
I am getting lots of 0 (zeros) and lots of Nan (dont know what does it
mean
though)…I have no idea about it.

Here is the snapshot of what I get. I would really appreciate if
somebody
can give any idea about this. Thank you.

From the GNURadio Wiki page on Octave:

Data captured directly from the USRP is stored as 32-bit complex, rather
than 64-bit complex (gr.sizeof_gr_complex). To read this data, first
use*
read_short_binary()* and then split it into a two dimensional vector:

d=read_short_binary(data);
c=split_vect(d,2);

This works for both Octave and Matlab.
The value ‘NaN’ indicates an arithmetic or read error. You can google
it
to find more.
