rx_time is the time something upstream was received. This could be the time of the first sample received by a USRP:

rx_time could also be the time a packet was received, or could be set by other blocks.

There is a utility called gr_read_file_metadata that installs with GR, but I haven't tried it yet.

Hi

I have several questions regarding the rx_time in the metadata file sink, https://gnuradio.org/doc/doxygen/page_metadata.html

1) What is exactly the timestamp? The moment first sample is recorded on the hard drive?
2) Is there an example to convert rx_time to readable format?
3) Is there an way to timestamp the IQ data at the moment they are generated by USRP?

Thanks.
