Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] how to stop the top_block and restart signal transmission

[Guanbo Zheng]

Hi Yan

I did it as well, but it seem wait for infinite time before it is finished.....
But without the lock() and unlock(), everything returns to normal.

Thanks,
Guanbo

Hi Guanbo,

In my case,  I added a tb.wait() after the tb is unlock to wait for the unlock action finished, so that the last line shows. However, it still gives the carrier wave on the oscilloscope. I also tried top_block._u._subdev.set_enable(False) to completely disable the transmitter then set_enable(True) to re-enable the transmitter based on hardware consideration, but it still doesn't work

Hi, Yan

I tried the similar python code as yours, as follows:

tb.start()
send_pkt("payload", eof=False)
print "before lock()"
tb.lock()
print "after lock()"
time.sleep(1)
print "before unlock()"
tb.unlock()
print "after unlock()"

I found out that, the last print is not showing up.

Do you have idea regarding to this issue?
Thanks
