This tutorial describes how to create a hierarchical block, or Hier block, in GRC. The previous tutorial, Creating Your First Block, demonstrates how to create your first GNU Radio block using the Embedded Python Block.
Creating the Flowgraph
A hier block is used to encapsulate and simplify multiple GNU Radio blocks into a single block. The example hier block will be a frequency shifter block which multiplies a Signal Source against an input signal.
The first step is creating the flowgraph. Drag and drop the following blocks into the workspace:
- Signal Source
- Multiply
- Noise Source
- Low Pass Filter
- Throttle
- QT GUI Frequency Sink
- QT GUI Range
Connect the blocks:
Update the QT GUI Range properties:
- Id: frequency
- Default Value: 0
- Start: -samp_rate/2
- Stop: samp_rate/2
Update the Low Pass Filter properties:
- Cutoff Freq (Hz): samp_rate/4
- Transition Width (Hz): samp_rate/8
