v23 v24 11 11 [[Image(node.png,width=800)]] 12 12 13 A {{{Node}}} is an object of the [browser:ResearchApps/PHY/WARPLAB/WARPLab7/M_Code_Reference/classes/wl_node.m wl_node class]. The primary role of the node object is to broker commands to other modules within the node and collect responses to those commands to deliver back to the user. Furthermore, the methods within the wl_node class are able to deal with vector inputs of of multiple wl_node objects, allowing automatic iteration through the provided nodes to replicate a single command provided by the user script. Beyond being the access point for users to interact with all of the modules in a WARPLab node, the wl_node class processes a few node-level commands of its own (such as [wiki:../ Reference/Commands/Node#identify identify]-- a command to help users identify a particular node by blinking LEDs on the hardware).13 A {{{Node}}} is an object of the [browser:ResearchApps/PHY/WARPLAB/WARPLab7/M_Code_Reference/classes/wl_node.m wl_node class].

This is used by the {{{Trigger}}} object as well as the [wiki:../ Reference/Utility#wl_initNodes wl_initNodes] utility function.39 A Broadcast {{{Transport}}} object does not process any commands, but contains a method for transmitting to more than one WARP node at once.

For the WARPLab Reference Design, we provide the [browser:ResearchApps/PHY/WARPLAB/WARPLab7/M_Code_Reference/classes/wl_baseband_buffers.m wl_baseband_buffers.m] subclass that provides buffers for sending and receiving custom I/Q waveforms provided by MATLAB. [wiki:../ Extensions#AdvancedExtensions Advanced user extensions] are intended to replace wl_baseband_buffers with custom classes that support user-added baseband processing running on WARP hardware.49 A {{{Baseband}}} is an object from the [browser:ResearchApps/PHY/WARPLAB/WARPLab7/M_Code_Reference/classes/wl_baseband.m wl_baseband.m] abstract class.
