Dear Marcus Müller:
Thank you for you reply.
I just try out the benchmark in /usr/share/gnuradio/examples/digital/ofdm
with little modification. As you known,the benchmark use ofdm_sync_pn by
default for synchronisation.The "ofdm_sync_pn" block uses a block named
"sample_and_hold" which I think is the value of fine_offset,so I created a
block_file_sink and wrote
"self.connect(self.sample_and_hold,self.offset_file_sink) " to output the
offset value instead of set logging=Ture.Maybe I have some misunderstanding.
Best wishes~
