  * The first run will demonstrate how to use the sensing application on multiple nodes centered at different frequencies. In this case we will not inject noise into the environment. Check the following page to view nodes corresponding to [http://www.orbit-lab.org/wiki/Documentation/USRP2_hw_map usrp n210].[[BR]]
  In this case we'll be sensing on node3-3, node8-8, node13-13 on the frequencies 5.0 GHz, 5.1 GHz, 5.2 GHz respectively.[[BR]]
- Sampling rate option (''--rate 16e6'') yields a bandwidth of 8MHz.[[BR]]
+ Sampling rate option (''--rate 8e6'') yields a bandwidth of 4MHz.[[BR]]
  The fft size (''--num-bins 1024'') corresponds to a 1024 point fft.[[BR]]
  The time option (''--time 5'') runs the application for 5 seconds.
  Since the ''--oml file'' option is used the collected data will be store on the node locally.[[BR]]
