ORBIT-USER: A number of questions

Hello, I am a new user to the Orbit Lab and had a number of potentially 
simple questions that I felt were not answered in the manuals or other 
documentation.  Any help you can offer would be much appreciated.

1.  In the OML program, is it possible to access more information about 
the sending/receiving node's interference levels, beyond RSSI?

Currently, only those parameters that are exposed by the underlying 
drivers and hardware are reported. So, for now, we only have RSSI levels 
reported along with the Transmit Rate used by the sender

2.  Are the noise generator antennae able to be controlled manually or is 
it strictly by script?
Control to the noise generator antennas is through a web service. So, 
you should be able to use your own wrappers to make these calls. We will 
make these available soon. Is there a specific reason why you want to 
bypass the scripts?

3.  In most of the examples, an Experiment.project line is filled in and I 
would like to know what is expected in this form.

It is reserved for future use to be tied in with a particular project 
tied in to the login credentials (mostly for accounting purposes). For 
now, you may leave it as is or replace with any appropriate string
