Ah, by the way, could you try the following dirty hack:
1. Copy the generated update_period.py file.
2. Find the place where self.blocks_throttle_0 = ... is done
3. after that, insert
self.blocks_throttle_0.set_max_noutput_items(int(samp_rate/100))
and report whether that works?
Best regards,
Marcus
