Reset() for probe_avg_mag_sqrd

GNU Radio
1

Hello,

my application is monitoring the RF level and often changeing the
frequency. Unfortunately it takes some time for probe_avg_mag_sqrd to
adjust to the new RF level (about 2 seconds if old level -10dB and new
level -40dB).
I found out the the iir-filter probe_avg_mag_sqrd uses has a reset
function, so all I did was adding a reset-function in probe_avg_mag_sqrd
to call it and it seems so work fine.
Is there any reason probe_avg_mag_sqrd doesn´t have a reset function
yet? Is there some problem I don´t see?
In case not, could that be added in official GNURadio? Otherwise my
application would only work with modified GNURadio (or I would need to
include my modified probe_avg_mag_sqrd with a new name in my
appliaction). I would prefer to have this feature in official GNURadio,
as it´s probably useful for somebody else as well.

Best regards
Stefan

Note: I´m not sending a patch because it´s just 3 lines of code and I
don´t know Python, so somebody else would have to complete it anyway.

Stefan,

this might be useful, can you post an issue on gnuradio.org, and
describe as clearly as possible what you need? A patch, even if small,
also helps to make things clearer for us.

Hi,
I posted the issue with a patch about 2 weeks ago, I´m not sure anybody
has seen it yet:
http://gnuradio.org/redmine/issues/709
Would be great if it could be included.

Thanks
Stefan

Stefan,

Johnathan asked you a couple of questions regarding your patch. I’m not
sure if you’ve already answered him, but the usual approach here is that
we continue patch-related discussions on the issue tracker. So what it
looks like from here is that’s actually stalling on you :slight_smile:

Once things are in the issue tracker, they don’t get forgotten. However,
sometimes it takes longer to merge/address things. Hope this doesn’t
discourage you or any other contributor.

Cheers,
M

You should make a clone of the gnuradio on github under your github
account, then push your work to a branch there so people can look at it.

Only a few people can push to the main gnuradio repository.

Hi,
I´m sorry, I just looked at that issue just before writing that mail, he
must have updated that while I was writing the mail.
And no, I was not discouraged, I´ve been on holiday the last weeks,
that´s why I did not response the last weeks.
Anyway, I created a git branch like requested, I never really worked
with gut before, so I just followed a guide, but in the last step I´ll
get an error:

Cannot access URL gnuradio.git - GNU Radio, return code 22
fatal: git-http-push failed

What am I doing wrong? Do I need somekind of login data? I set my name
and email using git config, but I was never asked for username/password?

Best regards
Stefan
