how to choose tune_delay?

Hi all,

I want to retune the frequency of my USRP in Python during runtime. I
understand from usrp_spectrum_sense.py that I can just retune the USRP
during runtime, and that I need to allow for some tune_delay to make sure
that the samples corresponding to the old center frequency are discarded.

Is there any way to get a good estimate of tune_delay value? I want to keep
this as short as possible. (btw I'm using a USRP-N210 with WBX
daughterboard) Some trial and error gave me values around 50ms, but this
seems rather high compared to what I've read online.

Any hints are welcome!

Thanks,

Francois
