+Specifying the subdevice to use
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+The USRP1 has multiple daughterboard slots, known as slot A and slot B.
+The subdevice specification can be used to select
+the daughterboard and subdevice for each channel.
+For daughterboards with one one subdevice,
+the subdevice name may be left blank for automatic selection.
+
+Ex: The subdev spec markup string to select a WBX on slot B.
+Notice the use of the blank subdevice name for automatic selection.
