+ * The multi-USRP device class:
+ * A multi-USRP facilitates ease-of-use for multiple USRP scenarios.
+ * The wrapper provides convenience functions to control the group
+ * of underlying devices as if they consisted of a single device.
+ *
+ * A few notes about a multi-USRP configuration:
+ *  - All boards share a common RX sample rate
+ *  - All boards share a common TX sample rate
+ *  - All boards share a common RX subdevice specification size
+ *  - All boards share a common TX subdevice specification size
+ *  - All boards must have synchronized times (see the set_time_*() calls)
+ *
+ * Example to setup channel mapping:
+ * <pre>
+ *
+ * //create a multi_usrp with two boards in the configuration
+ * device_addr_t dev_addr;
+ * dev_addr["addr"] = "192.168.10.2 192.168.10.3";
+ * multi_usrp::sptr dev = multi_usrp::make(dev_addr);
+ *
+ * //set the board on 10.2 to use the A RX subdevice (RX channel 0)
+ * dev->set_rx_subdev_spec(":A", 0);
+ *
+ * //set the board on 10.3 to use the B RX subdevice (RX channel 1)
+ * dev->set_rx_subdev_spec(":B", 1);
+ *
+ * //set both boards to use the AB TX subdevice (TX channels 0 and 1)
+ * dev->set_tx_subdev_spec(":AB", multi_usrp::ALL_MBOARDS);
+ *
+ * //now that all the channels are mapped, continue with configuration...
+ *
+ * </pre>
