Hey Guys,
I have a question about the make_format(width, shift) and set_format
methods
of the usrp_standard_rx class. It appears to me “width” is the bit width
of
IQ samples across the USB bus, but what does “shift” mean here? What has
been shifted if let’s say (width, shift) = (8, 8)? Also, if I call this
function with (8, 8) for a ‘usrp.source_c’, what would be the data
formats
of the outputs of the usrp source, complex 4-byte floats or complex
1-byte
chars? In the first case, does this save any computation load?
Thank you very much
Dawei
