RE: [Discuss-gnuradio] Why does general_work return large number?

[Zohair M. Abu Shaban]

Hi Eric,

I have read what you recommended but still haven't understood what the significance of this  number is. I have another block that generates a vector of 4 elements and the noutput_items is almost 1/4 the number of first block. Any further help please?

Thanks again,

Zohair
