Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] start_rx_streaming_at patch

What I really want most right now, is a usrp2 function that resets all the
buffers, data storage, counters, etc at the start of a data collect. Does
start_rx_streaming_at do that? (Later I'll also need it to allow me to set
the start time.)

And how is the start time specified? Is it just a 32 (64?) bit unsigned 
integer
that gives an offset from the most recent sync to PPS?

What is this VRT code? And when will it be available?

Thanks
Bruce
