Thank you so much for the response Michael. 
I will try to figure out what's going on with both ways and I will post updates to the list too. 

Thanks,
George

Hi George - I believe there are 2 possible solutions, though I've never used or tested either myself.  If you just want to verify that what you want to do works, I think (1) should be quite straight forward.

1) This method will certainly work, but it's not very robust : Make your "custom_block2" take an argument which is of the "custom_block1" smart pointer type, such that the amplitude can be set any time the former performs the computation to do so.  Instantiation of the "custom_block2" would take a smart pointer to the "custom_block1", and then store that reference for future use; because this is a C++ object, just use "." or "->" to access the object's variable or method.

2) I don't know if stream tags are in place well enough yet, nor if they would work in the manner you require.  The idea is that there's a tag plane (sort of like a control plane) that "overlays" (or is in parallel with) the graph (data-flow) plane, where tags can be inserted -- a timestamp, or a value that might get used downstream.  Since "custom_block1" isn't downstream from "custom_block2", tags might not work.  Maybe there's a branch for this sort of non-downstream async control?

Hope this helps; good luck! - MLD
