As I increase the frequency of the sine wave to 100kHz, the resolution
I noticed that the scope base class makes references to message
queues; is the discrepancy simply an OS timing issue.

I am using the following code snippet to view a 100kHz sinewave on a virtual
oscilloscope:
self.interface_rate = 1e9
self.src = gr.sig_source_c(self.interface_rate, gr.GR_SIN_WAVE, 1e3, 1)
self.scope = scopesink2.scope_sink_c(panel, sample_rate=self.interface_rate)
self.connect(self.src, self.scope)
As I increase the frequency of the sine wave to 100kHz, the resolution of
the plotted points deteriorates.
With a sampling rate of 1MHz and a sine wave frequency of 100kHz, I would
expect the time interval between plotted point to always be 1us. However, if
I reduce the time-base and select the marker to be “Dot Larg” I can clearly
see that the time-period is not the expected 1us.
Please could some one shed some light on why there appears to be a
discrepancy; or are my expectation just incorrect.
You use sample rate 1e9 = 1 Gsps - I think that’s slightly above what
is possible on standard PC. Maybe that’s just a typo?

Thanks to Alex for pointing out a mistake in the code snippet, it should
read:
self.interface_rate = 1e6 # i.e. 1 MS/s
