Hi John,
No need to compile anything. The small bit of python below should
work for you. It copies short samples from the mc4020 source into the
the file called 'output.dat' until you press the Enter key.
MCC_CH3_EN specifies that you want to use the 3rd input (zero based).
MCC_ALL_1V specifies that your input voltage is in +/- 1V.
MCC_ALL_5V is the other choice.
If you want to grab a specific number of samples, you can add the gr.head block.
#!/usr/bin/env python
from gnuradio import gr
from gnuradio import mc4020
def build_graph():
fg = gr.flow_graph()
input_rate = 20e6
src = mc4020.source (input_rate, mc4020.MCC_CH3_EN | mc4020.MCC_ALL_1V)
dst = gr.file_sink(gr.sizeof_short, 'output.dat')
fg.connect (src, dst)
return fg
def main():
fg = build_graph()
fg.start()
raw_input('Press Enter to Exit: ')
fg.stop()
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
# using head...
nsamples = 2e6
src = mc4020.source (input_rate, mc4020.MCC_CH3_EN | mc4020.MCC_ALL_1V)
head = gr.head(gr.sizeof_short, int(nsamples))
dst = gr.file_sink(gr.sizeof_short, 'output.dat')
fg.connect (src, head, dst)
