I've gotten the impression you're looking for a bit count after some
amount of time has passed, similar to ifconfig's "TX packets:".

Mangusha, from other posts I'm thinking maybe you're trying to connect
a socket to a modulator and transmitter and you want to know how many
bits have been transmitted. I'm certainly not going to be a definite
source on this, but I don't think you can do this in grc without
writing any code.

Each of these blocks does have a variable (probably called something
similar to noutput_items) that you can use to accumulate a total and
add an output. If it's really critical to your application I don't
think it's very difficult to edit one of these blocks to do it for
you. Or even better, just make your own block that does nothing but
count the number of items that goes through it.

If I'm over complicating things and you're just trying to understand
your flowgraph...
I think your number of bits transmitted is 2.
Your bit rate is, uh I think something like samples/symbol / samp_rate.
