Hi all,

Thank you! I’ve noticed my mistake.

Now I’ve tried both 5000 and 100e3, instead of overflowing “O”, I see lots of “L” late packets.

Thank you in advanced!

'L' is from TX side of things. It's a special variant of 'U', where the transmission is time-tagged, and the device time is already past that point when
  the time-tagged packet arrives.

    Hi Marcus,

    Thank you for the quick reply!

    Is there any block in GRC that works with the FPGA in the USRP
B210? And I have tried lowering the transition width from 1000 to ~150 but I still see overflow, does this means that the only
    solution to it is to get a faster computer?

There are no FPGA-for-B210 blocks in Gnu Radio. That's not how Gnu Radio works. RFNoC is an exception, but B210 is not an RFNoC-capable radio.

Narrowing the transition width (as a fraction of sample-rate) is precisely how you end up with really-long, hard-to-compute, filters. Try a transition width of 100e3, and see how that does. That's a roughly 2% fractional bandwidth. Which, in the analog world, would be a pretty "tight" filter.



Thank you in advanced!

    Hi all,

    Apparently, I tried connecting the USRP Source to a Low Pass
    Filter and to a File Sink, I get overflows “OOOOOO”. However, when
    I removed the LPF, there is no overflow. The question is, why is
    this happening? Is the Low Pass Filter in GRC done in the FPGA or
    in the computer itself? I am using USRP B210 and my sampling rate
    is 6MHz.

    Is there a solution to this?

    Thank you in advanced!

'O' are caused by the computer not "keeping up". Gnu Radio is a software-defined-radio framework, and all the blocks execute on the PC host.

It is typically the case that new users make low-pass filters with very "aggressive" transition bandwidths, which leads to a very expensive-to-compute
  filter.  Try relaxing the transition bandwidth.
