Fast changes of frequency

Hello,

I want to know if it is possible to change the frequencies that are been recording very fast without any lost of samples. Maybe the use of direct programming with C can solve this problem?

Kind regards,
Bruno

As long you only need to change the frequency within the capacity of the simultaneous bandwidth of the receiver (e.g. 8-10 MHz) you can do this in software without losing any samples at all.

To change the center bandwidth of the receiver and sweep other chunk of 8-10 MHz, you will lose some samples, but using the MIRICS SDR API, you at least have control of it (when, how much lost) using the synchronous features. And yes, you have to program using C or similar. :-)
