Hi -
Is it possible to run more than one top_block at a time in gnuradio
3.7.x? I have an application where I wish to run an additional flow
graph periodically. I have set up a thread that grabs samples via a
probe from my main flow graph that is running all of the time, and uses
that data to source another flow graph. Everything appears to be
running, however I want to be certain that I’m not doing something
terribly wrong — especially since two relevant sources of information
seem to contradict my current mode of operation:

Yes, you can do that.
It might not be what you want – running 2 top_blocks is a bit like
running 2 processes with one tb each.
You can have a disconnected flow graph in one top block by making each
FG a hier block, and then adding that to the top block.

Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Multiple flow graphs, proper design
It used to be that you could only have 1 top_block per process. The wiki
page is not up to date.
