Since GNU Radio File Sinks have hard-coded open flags that include O_TRUNC one
|
|
||||||
can not open Linux pipes. For that reason, it is not possible to monitor traffic
|
|
||||||
live by connection Wireshark to a pipe. However, opening the file and
|
|
||||||
investigating the traffic offline works fine.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
I made a patch that adds an append option to the File Sink. With this patch you
|
|
||||||
can also open pipes. If you are interested see:

### Packet Pad

|
|

|
Adds a configurable number of zeros before and after a burst. The burst has to
|
||||||
|
be started with an tx_sob, and ended with a tx_eob tag. From time to time I had
|
||||||
|
issues when I did not pad the sample stream. This block helps to investigate
|
||||||
|
that. It is also handy for loopback testing when there is no continues sample
|
||||||
|
stream. Furthermore, this block can add a tx_time tag to every burst that lies
|
||||||
|
a configurable number of seconds in the future. This is handy to buffer the
|
||||||
|
sample stream for a short time to avoid underruns during the transmission,
|
||||||
|
which lead to corrupted signals. You have to set the sync option to 'PC source'
|
||||||
|
for this feature.
