+/*!
+ * The Multi-USRP device class:
+ *
+ * This class facilitates ease-of-use for most use-case scenarios.
+ * The wrapper provides convenience functions to tune the devices,
+ * set the dboard gains, antennas, filters, and other properties.
+ * This class can be used to interface with a single USRP with
+ * one or more channels, or multiple USRPs in a homogeneous setup.
+ * All members take an optional parameter for board number or channel number.
+ * In the single device, single channel case, these parameters can be unspecified.
+ *
+ * When using a single device with multiple channels:
+ * - Channel mapping is determined by the subdevice specifications
+ * - All channels share a common RX sample rate
+ * - All channels share a common TX sample rate
+ *
+ * When using multiple devices in a configuration:
+ * - Channel mapping is determined by the device address arguments
+ * - 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 for multiple devices:
+ * <pre>
+ *
+ * //create a multi_usrp with two boards in the configuration
+ * device_addr_t dev_addr;
+ * dev_addr["addr0"] = "192.168.10.2"
+ * dev_addr["addr1"] = "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...
+ *

+ * - at compile time by setting the pre-processor define UHD_LOG_LEVEL.
+ * - at runtime by setting the environment variable UHD_LOG_LEVEL.

+ * WAX - it's a metaphor!
+ *
+ * The WAX framework allows an object to have generic/anyobj properties.
+ * These properties can be addressed through generic/anyobj identifiers.
+ *
+ * The WAX object itself is an anytype container much like boost::any.
+ * To retrieve the value of the appropriate type, use my_obj.as<type>().
+ *
+ * Proprties may be referenced though the [] overloaded operator.
+ * The [] operator returns a special proxy that allows for assigment.
+ * Also, the [] operators may be chained as in the folowing examples:
+ * my_obj[prop1][prop2][prop3] = value;
+ * value = my_obj[prop1][prop2][prop3].as<type>();
+ *
+ * Property nesting occurs when a WAX object gets another object's link.
+ * This special link is obtained through a call to my_obj.get_link().
+ *
+ * Note: Do not put a class derived from wax::obj into an stl container.
+ * MSVC will compile the code, but the binaries will crash at runtime.
+ * Rather, use pointers or smart pointers to instances of the derived class.
