ping_custom_op

Ping Custom Op

This example builds on top of the ping_simple example to demonstrate how to create your own custom operator.

There are three operators involved in this example (tx -> mx -> rx):

1. a transmitter, set to transmit a sequence of integes from 1-10 to it's 'out' port
2. a middle operator that prints the received values, multiplies by a scalar and transmits the modified values
3. a receiver that prints the received values to the terminal

Visit the SDK User Guide for step-by-step documentation of this example.
