Gr_top_block adding new block while running

hi all,

I want to record for example a fir filter output
to file when I want. I have develop basic application,
given some parts below



def start_record_samples (self):
self.stop()
self.utfil = gr.file_sink(gr.sizeof_float,“capture.cfile”)
self.connect(self.chan_filt,self.utfil)
self.start()

def stop_record_samples (self):
self.stop()
self.disconnect(self.chan_filt,self.utfil)
self.start()


these functions are controlled with two buttons. “start” button calls
start_record_samples and “stop” button calls stop_record_samples.

but they don’t work properly.

start_record_samples gives error given below,

Traceback (most recent call last):

return _gnuradio_swig_py_runtime.gr_top_block_sptr_start(*args,
**kwargs)
RuntimeError: top_block::start: top block already running or wait() not
called after previous stop()

how can I add new block temporarily to a running gr_top_block
scheduler?
because after stop it can’t start anymore.

regards.

I have found the solution from gr wiki. I just add self.wait() before
self.start and everything is fine now.
