Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] File Source/sink

[Marcus D. Leech]

Hi everyone

Quick question.. i know GRC can read any file extension i.e. *.txt, but how can i see the data i save on a file sink? to be clear let me try a quick test.. randomsource-->throttle-->filesink..

when i try to see the exit of the random source my gedit says thats it doesn't recognize the format..

thanks

The file sink writes in the native-binary format of whatever type you send it.  In this case, unsigned 8-bit integers.  It *does not* convert to
  any kind of human-readable ASCII format.  To do so would have significant performance and storage-occupancy implications.
