Hello Julio,

it’s not really clear what you’re asking.  
Could you explain what you’re looking at, what your system is, and what  
the problem you’re encountering is?

Best regards,  
Marcus

File source (no repeat) → complex to float → 2 file sinks; one writing  
to  
“real.f32” and the other going to “imag.f32”.

Take the size of each output file and divide by 4. That’s how many  
samples  
are in each.
