Wade Fife 02558b69f7 examples: Add throttle to replay_capture.py
Adds --throttle argument, which controls the playback rate to the host
and is set as a percentage of maximum stream endpoint throughput.

Also adds --no-progress to disable the TQDM progress bar and increases
the buffer size used with TQDM to avoid overusing the CPU during
playback to the host.

"""
Captures samples into DRAM, then streams those to the host.
Note: The --freq, --gain, and --antenna options can take a single value, which
is applied to all channels, or a list of values which is applied to individual
channels. Example:
replay_capture.py -f 1e9 -g 20 30 -c 0/Radio#0:0 0/Radio#0:1
This will use two channels from Radio 0 with a common frequency of 1 GHz.
The first channel will use a gain of 20 dB, and the second a gain of 30 dB.
A note on hardware capabilities: When downloading data from DRAM onto the host,
it is possible for the network interfaces to not be able to keep up with the
data rates generated by the USRP, and packets will be dropped.
If this happens, the following options may help:
- Make sure the system configuration is set up for highest performance, e.g.
by adapting network driver settings (see also
https://kb.ettus.com/USRP_Host_Performance_Tuning_Tips_and_Tricks#Increasing_Ring_Buffers)
- Fall back to a slower data rate, e.g., use 1 GbE instead of 10 or 100 GbE
