RE: [linrad] FFT performance



Hi Roger,

I can't get to the screen where the values are displayed. This is what is 
happening with details:

$ ./linrad

ADC sampling is set to 8000, 2 channels (I/Q receiver). Parameters are 
saved (W pressed).

At the main screen I press "F" for the hardware test mode. The message
"You are prompted to the parameter selection screens for the following
reason:  par_test file missing". Then at the "Set parameters for mode:
HARDWARE TEST MODE RX CHannels: 1" screen, no matter what values I set,
when I press enter, linrad always tells that "Speed far too slow. Try less
demanding FFT!". That is it. The only way to get out is to press ESC, thus
quiting the application.

So, I'm unable to post the performance values since I cannot get them.

73,

Hi Roger,
