 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 High-Level: The multi usrp
 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-The multi usrp API provides a wrapper around a device that represents several motherboards.
-This API provides convenience calls just like the single usrp,
-however the calls either work across all channels in the configuration,
-or take a channel argument to specify which channel to configure.
-The multi 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).

+The Multi-USRP class provides a FAT interface to a single USRP with
+one or more channels, or multiple USRPs in a homogeneous setup.
 See the documentation in *usrp/multi_usrp.hpp* for reference.

Subject: usrp: added set and get master clock rates to usrp API

implemented set and get rates in usrp1 (its all soft)

implemented set and get rates in usrp2 (only 100MHz)
