Reply To: BB60C–external trigger–bbFetchRaw(buffer, triggers)

I might reply to this one!

First of all, the buffer length is in I/Q samples, not in 32-bit floating point values. So, the 16384 I/Q samples in each buffer actually means 32768 (2*16384) 32-bit floating point values. Considering that, the index that you reported in the example, 26666, is mostly correct.

But there is a well hidden problem in how you determined it. The API manual states that the trigger position is in I/Q samples number. So you must first convert the trigger position to the I/Q sample number before multiplying it by 2.

So you have SamplePos=TrigPos/DecimRatio (integer math!) and then go at 2*SamplePos in the received buffer to get the samples after the trigger.

The way you estimated the sample position is not correct because for many trigger position values, when using integer math, 2*Pos/Decim is different from 2*(Pos/Decim) and you end up accessing the Q1/I2 instead of I1/Q1 (the samples are considered I1/Q1, I2/Q2 etc.).
