I also noticed that the beginning looks different to
the rest.

Maybe i have to collect 32bit to one float count ?
As i wrote, 1 sample consists of 32 bit, and because
this comes from an IQ signal, this should be 2 samples ???!

If i only plot the vector containnig the float samples:
c=read_complex_binary('usrp_output_64bit_complex_only_sin_signal.dat');
t=1:1:100;
plot([real(c(t)), imag(c(t))])
i got for the beginning,

And if i do,
t=100:1:164;
plot([real(c(t)), imag(c(t))])
