Thanks Marcus,
The UHD Source finally understand the following:
pmt::pmt_t timeStamp = pmt::cons(pmt::from_long(1), pmt::from_double(1));
d_rxCommand = pmt::dict_add(d_rxCommand, pmt::mp("time"), timeStamp);
Although UHD Source reports processing the message, I eventually get a packet
loss error and the N210 disconnects (no control response error).
Do you think it maybe better for me to modify UHD Source and implement the
timed command in the set_center_freq function in the usrp_source_impl.cc (UHD
Source Block) ? As I am successfully stepping the UHD Source using the message
port successfully and I just need to add a timed command so both channels
re-tune together.
Thanks,
Nigel

Timestamps aren't just doubles for UHD; they ought to be [1]

Similar to uhd::time_spec_t.
So your timestamp needs to be a pair of long, double
pmt_t timestamp = pmt::make_pair(pmt::from_long(0), pmt::from_double(0.5));
d_rxCommand = pmt::dict_add(d_rxCommand, pmt::mp("time"), timestamp);
if I'm not mistaken.
Best regards,
Marcus
