[Discuss-gnuradio] uhd_fft differences with different wire-format

2015-01-05 Thread Anderson, Douglas J.
Hi all, I'm trying to understand the impact that changing the wire-format of a USRP has on the uhd_fft script provided by GNURadio. Using UHD_003.008.001-42-g8c87a524 and GNURadio built by pybomb a few weeks ago (3427a667c). On a USRP N210 with 50 Ohm load, I ran uhd_fft --wire-format=sc8 -s
