     150For this experiment we use static array management commands as shown below.
     151First, start PAAM #1 (rfdev2-1) in TX mode with H-polarization using 4 antenna elements on IC 1, and configure the TX beamforming direction to be in the broadside (0,0). Check the current consumption on 2v7_1 and make sure IC1 has been successfully initialized (e.g., 2v7_1 has a current consumption of 1.026A in the example below).

Check the current consumption on 2v7_2 and make sure IC2 has been successfully initialized (e.g., 2v7_2 has a current consumption of 0.821A in the example below).

    225 * [Terminal 1] In gnuradio-companion, start gnuradio-companion, configure the USRP sink (TX) with sdr1-s1-lg1 ("mgmt_addr=10.116.2.1,addr=10.117.2.1") and the USRP source (RX) with sdr1-md1 ("mgmt_addr=10.116.3.1,addr=10.117.3.1"). Set the carrier frequency to 3GHz (3e9) and the subdev to be "B:0" (RF2) on both TX and RX. In this example flowgraph, the sampling rate and the tone frequency are set to be 2.5MHz (2.5e6) and 1MHz (1e6), respectively.
     226* In gnuradio-companion, start gnuradio-companion, configure the USRP sink (TX) with sdr1-in2 ("mgmt_addr=10.37.6.2,addr=10.38.6.2") and the USRP source (RX) with sdr1-in1("mgmt_addr=10.37.6.1,addr=10.37.6.2"). Set the carrier frequency to 3GHz (3e9) and the subdev to be "B:1" (RF3) on both TX and RX. In this example flowgraph, the sampling rate and the tone frequency are set to be 2.5MHz (2.5e6) and 1MHz (1e6), respectively.
