seek_float

baseband.tasks.seek_float(ih, offset, whence=0)

Get a float sample position.

Similar to ih.seek(), but without rounding, and allowing offsets that are different for different sample streams.

Parameters

ihstream handle

Handle of a stream reader or task.

offsetfloat, Quantity, or Time

Offset to move to. Can be an (float) number of samples, an offset in time units, or an absolute time. Should be broadcastable to the stream sample shape.

whence{0, 1, 2, ‘start’, ‘current’, or ‘end’}, optional

Like regular seek, the offset is taken to be from the start if whence=0 (default), from the current position if 1, and from the end if 2. One can alternativey use ‘start’, ‘current’, or ‘end’ for 0, 1, or 2, respectively. Ignored if offset is a time.
