Hi,
I am parsing the sample rate from a file name and would like to
dynamically pass that to a downstream block (for instance the throttle
block). I tried using a function proble to get the sample rate value and
having the throttle getthe sample rate from it. It seems like the
throttle is only getting the initial value from the function probe
though and not updating. Please let me know if I’m on the right track,
or if there is a better way to pass the sample rate to other blocks.
Thanks!

Hi Jenny,
the throttle block is really only used to run offline flowgraphs and
make sure
they don’t swamp the CPU. Do you have any other clocks in your
flowgraph, or is this the only one?
If you’re reading the sample rate from a file name, my suggestion is to
figure that out before you start the FG, and set it while initializing.
If you want to change sampling rates dynamically, this calls for stream
tags. However, there’s no block in stock GNU Radio that reads sampling
rates from stream tags.

Thanks for your response, Martin- It’s very helpful. I still have some
confusion about the function probe though. Briefly, how do I query it’s value
from another block?
I’m not sure what you mean. You can write the variable name from the
function probe into any field that has a callback.
