+Low-Level: The device API

 A device is an abstraction for hardware that is connected to the host system.
 For a USRP, this means that the motherboard and everything on it would be considered to be a "device".

+High-Level: The mimo usrp
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+The mimo usrp API provides a wrapper around a device that represents several motherboards.
+This API provides convenience calls just like the simple usrp,
+however the calls either work across all channels in the configuration,
+or take a channel argument to specify which channel to configure.
+The mimo usrp provides ways to:
+
+* Set and get the sample rate across all channels.
+* Issue a stream command across all channels.
+* Set the time registers across all channels.
+* Set and get individual daughterboard gains.
+* Set and get individual daughterboard antennas.
+* Tune individual DSPs and daughterboards.
+* Get the underlying device (as discussed above).

 Integrating custom hardware

 Creators of custom hardware can create drivers that use the UHD API.

 For a module to be loaded at runtime, it must be found in the UHD_MODULE_PATH environment variable.
