Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Can threading disturb sensing continuety

[kaleem ahmad]

Thanks for all these replies,

 The problem is my investigation about cycle time is not restricted to FSK,
I just gave the example of FSK system. I would like to calculate the cycle
time of any system (ZigBee, FSK, CSS etc) present in the area. My target is
to sense as much systems as possible and then calculate the cycle time of
that.

Best Regards
