Selector

Connect the sink at input index to the source at output index. Samples from other input ports are consumed and dumped. Other output ports produce no samples.

output[output_index][i] = input[input_index][i]

Parameters

(R): Run-time adjustable

Enabled (R)

Whether or not input gets copied to output.

NOTE: Selector block prior to GR 3.8 does not have Enabled parameter

Number of Inputs

Number of input streams

Number of Outputs

Number of output streams

Input Index (R)

Used to choose which input stream gets used. It is typical for this to be changed in realtime using e.g. a QT GUI Chooser

Output Index (R)

Used to choose which output stream gets the input copied to it. It is typical for this to be changed in realtime using e.g. a QT GUI Chooser

Messages

Enable

The 'en' message port accepts only raw PMT messages of the form pmt.to_pmt(False) or pmt.to_pmt(True)

Input index

The 'iindex' message port accepts only raw PMT messages of the form pmt.from_long(index)

Output index

The 'oindex' message port accepts only raw PMT messages of the form pmt.from_long(index)

Example Flowgraph

Using Parameters

This example flowgraph is located in [1]

In this example, there are three input signals, which can be directed by the parameters of the selector block to one of two of the output ports. In the case where the input is set to 0 and the output is set to 0, we get the cosine signal passing from input 0 to Output 0. In this case Output 1 produces no samples.

If we change the output index to 1, and the input index to 1, we see the triangle wave produced at output 1. Output 0 in this case is producing no output samples, but the QT GUI Time sink does not update the display.

Using Messages

Messages can be used to enable the block and to select the input and output ports. Here is a snippet of a flowgraph to illustrate:
