i have one more question with usrp_fft.py. in the GUI, it show that if i
choose my decimation to be 16, the Fusb become 4MHz (due to 64MHz/16) and
the BW of the measurement should be 1MHz right? but why in the x-axis it
show that the frequency range of measurement is 4MHz; if my fc = 2.45GHz, it
give the minimum value of x-axis = 2.4480GHz and the maximum value of x-axis
= 2.4520GHz (BW = 4MHz)? is it this labeling is miss or is i had miss
somewhere?  i suppose the BW of the display should be 1MHz right?
