Nope. The examples show you how to use the various blocks but don't have
write-ups on their own. You can find what each block does in the manual:

It is a bit strange, I'll admit, but that sine wave is just digital samples
that are shaped like a sine wave. So passing them through as digitally
modulated samples is the same as passing any value.

There are plenty of display widgets (QT or WX) that you can use here. Or
dump it to a file and analyze the raw bytes anyway you know how.
