[Sudarshan Chandrashekar]

Could u suggest a suitable command line?

this one dusnt work ./usrp_rx_cfile.py  -f 2.4G -g 10 "-8 -N 1024

I assume there are default values specified for the other parses arguements

#!/usr/bin/env python

"""

Read samples from the USRP and write to file formatted as binary

Hi shesha et all

Following is the reply from a forum which i got in response to a query to log raw data :

"Hi Sudarshan,

try the app usrp2_rx_cfile.py or usrp_rx_cfile.py depending on your usrp 
version
to store the raw data.

Regards,

Christoph"

->execution of the same throws up errors

->any specific command line?

Regards
