Gr_burst_tagger

GNU Radio
#1

Would it be reasonable to modify gr-burst-tagger to allow you to set the
tag values that are inserted at the two different state
transitions?

I don’t see a function in there to do that–it only inserts
“burst”:PMT_T or “burst”:PMT_F at the two state transitions on the
trigger port.

Ideally, I’d like to add a set_tag_values() method that allows you to
control both the tag keyid, and the True/False value to be used at
the two state transitions.

My thinking is in support of a uhd_usrp_sink() block, which interprets
“tx_eob” and “tx_sob” tags appearing in the stream to control
the TX hardware.

Marcus,
I think that would be fine. That block was made mostly as an example of
using the tags, but it was conceived pretty much in a vacuum, so we
didn’t
spend much time thinking about it’s uses. Adding some ability to change
the
default behavior seems like a good idea.
