\section{Purpose} The different programs that are part of the \mmbtools each have their own documentation regarding command-line options and configuration settings, and the opendigitalradio.org wiki contains many explanations and pointers, but there is no single source of documentation available for the whole tool-set. This document aims to solve this, by first outlining general concepts, presenting different usage scenarios and detailing a complete transmission setup. With this document in hand, you should be able to understand all elements composing a \mmbtools transmission chain. % vim: spl=en spell tw=80 et
