-Self-Calibration
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
-UHD software comes with several self-calibration utilities for minimizing IQ
-imbalance and DC offset. These utilities perform calibration sweeps using
-transmit leakage into the receive path (special equipment is not required).
-The results from a calibration are written to a CSV file in the user's home
-directory. UHD software will automatically apply corrections at runtime when
-the user re-tunes the daughterboard LO. Calibration results are specific to an
-individual RF board.
-
-**Note:**
-When a calibration table is present,
-and the user wishes to override the calibration settings through the API:
-the user should re-apply the desired setting every time the LO is re-tuned.
-
-UHD software comes with the following calibration utilities:
-
- * **uhd_cal_rx_iq_balance:** - mimimizes RX IQ imbalance vs. LO frequency
- * **uhd_cal_tx_dc_offset:** - mimimizes TX DC offset vs. LO frequency
- * **uhd_cal_tx_iq_balance:** - mimimizes TX IQ imbalance vs. LO frequency
-
-The following RF frontends are supported by the self-calibration utilities:
-
- * RFX Series transceiver boards
- * WBX Series transceiver boards
- * SBX Series transceiver boards
- * CBX Series transceiver boards
-
-********************************************
-Calibration Utilities
-********************************************
-UHD software installs the calibration utilities into **<install-path>/bin**.
-**Disconnect** any external hardware from the RF antenna ports,
-and run the following from the command line.
-Each utility will take several minutes to complete.
-::
-
- uhd_cal_rx_iq_balance --verbose --args=<optional device args>
- uhd_cal_tx_iq_balance --verbose --args=<optional device args>
- uhd_cal_tx_dc_offset --verbose --args=<optional device args>
-
-See the output given by --help for more advanced options, such as:
-manually choosing the frequency range and step size for the sweeps.
-
-**Note:**
-Your daughterboard needs a serial number to run a calibration utility. Some older daughterboards
-may not have a serial number. If this is the case, run the following command to burn a serial number
-into the daughterboard's EEPROM:
-::
-
- <install dir>/lib/uhd/utils/usrp_burn_db_eeprom --ser=<desired serial> --args=<optional device args>
-
-********************************************
-Calibration Data
-********************************************
-Calibration files are stored in the user's home/application directory.
-They can easily be moved from machine to another by copying the "cal" directory.
-Re-running a calibration utility will replace the existing calibration file.
-The old calibration file will be renamed so it may be recovered by the user.
-
- * **Linux:** ${HOME}/.uhd/cal/
- * **Windows:** %APPDATA%\\.uhd\\cal\\
