Insert description of flowgraph here, then show a screenshot of the flowgraph and the output if there is an interesting GUI. Currently we have no standard method of uploading the actual flowgraph to the wiki or git repo, unfortunately. The plan is to have an example flowgraph showing how the block might be used, for every block, and the flowgraphs will live in the git repo.

Send message at defined interval.

Takes a PMT message and sends it out every milliseconds. Useful for testing/debugging the message system.

Parameters

(R): Run-time adjustable

Message PMT (R)
The message to send as a PMT. For example, the following message creates a payload of a simple vector of 16 bytes that contains all 1's.
 pmt.cons(pmt.PMT_NIL, pmt.make_u8vector(16, 0xFF))
Period (ms) (R)
The specified time interval after which data is sent at the output repeatedly.

Example Flowgraph

Example 1

In this example, a Message Strobe block sends the string "Demo" once per second.

PUB SUB msg demo.png

Example 2

In another example, we change the frequency of a signal source to 1kHz after 5 seconds.

The message strobe settings in the above example are as follows:

Example 3

Another example that uses a Message Strobe block can be found in gr-blocks/examples/msg_passing.
