Once gnss-sdr Position fix is established, gnss-sdr-monitor stops responding

[ampledata]

Hi, First, thanks for this tool, I'm really looking forward to using it.

I'm able to stream data from gnss-sdr to gnss-sdr-monitor, but once a Position fix is established, the gnss-sdr-monitor windows stops responding. I can see sat data, etc in the window, but that no longer updates, and the alt/lat/lon fields are never filled. Only fix is to stop gnss-sdr, at which point gnss-sdr-monitor starts responding again. I've tried to change the buffer size from 50/500/1000 to no avail. I've also enabled throttling on gnss-sdr.

Steps to reproduce: 1) Configure gnss-sdr to stream into gnss-sdr-monitor (per the docs). 2) Start gnss-sdr-monitor 3) Start gnss-sdr

Expected result: 1) gnss-sdr-monitor should display sat data received from gnss-sdr. 2) gnss-sdr-monitor should display position fix data from gnss-sdr (once position fix is established).

Actual result: 1) gnss-sdr-monitor monitor displays sat data, but not position fix data. 2) gnss-sdr-monitor 'locks up' until gnss-sdr exits.

Here's my gnss-sdr-monitor config file:

[Main_Window]

Bumping the buffers up to 5000 fends off the 'freeze' problem for a little while, still happens eventually, still not showing lat/lon from fix however. Will report back if that changes.

Hello. Your machine is not fast enough. Try setting Monitor.decimation_factor to 4 at least. And enable PVT clock correction PVT.enable_rx_clock_correction=true.
