Sorry Marcus, I'm not familiar with pmts and message passing things to
handle these errors on my own. When I change
"self._file.write(pmt.serialize_str(msg))" to
"self._file.write(pmt.to_float(msg))", I get the following error in grc
terminal

handler caught exception: expected a character buffer object
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gnuradio/gr/gateway.py",
line 73, in eval
    try: self._callback(arg)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/msgtools/msg_file_sink.py",
line 41, in _msg_handler
    self._file.write(pmt.to_float(msg))
TypeError: expected a character buffer object
thread[thread-per-block[101]: <block msg_file_sink (47)>]: caught
unrecognized exception

Thanks for the help.
