Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Trouble decimating after averaging 4 vectors? Help?

[Glen I Langston]

Thanks Jeff,

I’ll give that a try.

I think I’m also missing something that tells gnu radio what the expected 
decimation is (?),
beyond the decimate = 4 parameter(?).

Also concerning your point, then if I have a non-multiple of 4 vectors I guess 
I need
to keep the sum and count, but I guess that is already a part of the code.

Best regards

Glen
