+/*
+ * This example shows how to implement fast frequency hopping using an X-Series
+ * motherboard and a TwinRX daughterboard.
+ *
+ * The TwinRX daughterboard is different than previous daughterboards in that it has two
+ * RX channels, each with a set of Local Oscillators (LOs). Either channel can be configured
+ * to use either LO set, allowing for the two channels to share an LO source.
+ *
+ * The TwinRX can be used like any other daughterboard, as the multi_usrp::set_rx_freq()
+ * function will automatically calculate and set the two LO frequencies as needed.
+ * However, this adds to the overall tuning time. If the LO frequencies are manually set
+ * with the multi_usrp::set_rx_lo_freq() function, the TwinRX will will not perform the
+ * calculation itself, resulting in a faster tune time. This example shows how to take
+ * advantage of this as follows:
+ *
+ * 1. Tune across the given frequency range, storing the calculated LO frequencies along
+ * the way.
+ * 2. Use timed commands to tell the TwinRX to receive bursts of samples at given intervals.
+ * 3. For each frequency, tune the LOs for the inactive channel for the next frequency and
+ * receive at the current frequency.
+ * 4. If applicable, send the next timed command for streaming.
