2.3. The easiest way to capture a signal file is to use the GNU Radio Companion GUI. Only two blocks are needed: an USRP signal source connected to complex float file sink. You need to tune the USRP central frequency and decimation factor using USRP signal source properties box. We suggest using a decimation factor of 20 if you use the USRP2. This will give you 100/20= 5 MSPS which will be enough to receive GPS L1 C/A signals. The front-end gain should also be configured. In our test with the DBSRX we obtained good results with G=50
2.4. Capture at least 80 seconds of signal in an open sky conditions (at this moment, the acquisition is not very sensitive..). During the process, be aware of USRP driver buffer underuns messages. If your hard disk is not fast enough to write data at this speed you can capture to a virtual RAM drive. 80 seconds of signal at 5 MSPS occupies less than 3 Gbytes using gr_complex<float>.

4. Run the receiver from the install directory. The program reports the current status in text mode, directly to the terminal window. If all goes well, and GNSS-SDR is able to successfully track an decode at least 4 satellites, you will get a PVT fix. The program will write a Google Earth KML file and RINEX (yet experimental) files in the install directory. Among the console output, GNSS-SDR also writes log files in /tmp/.
