+This script is ideal for capturing a log file with Tx and Rx events recorded from Wi-Fi clients using the 802.11 Reference Design AP or STA.
 
 To use this script:
  * Setup wlan_exp (see [wiki:../../GettingStarted Getting Started] for details)
- * Configure one WARP v3 node using the 802.11 Reference Design AP bitstream
+ * Configure one WARP v3 node using the 802.11 Reference Design AP bitstream or 802.11 Reference Design STA bitstream
  * Open the file in a text editor and change the {{{NODE_SERIAL_LIST}}} to match your serial numbers
  * Open a Python shell
  * CD to the '''Python_Reference/examples/txrx_log''' directory from the expanded 802.11 Reference design archive
- * Run {{{python log_capture_ap_interactive.py}}}
+ * Run {{{python log_capture_interactive.py}}}
  * After running this script you can analyze the log file using the wlan_exp log tools. Refer to the [wiki:../txrx_log_analysis txrx_log analysis examples] to get started processing your log file.

-NOTE:  By default, the script will try to use the file name:  {{{log_files/ap_interactive_capture.hdf5}}}.  You are free to override this behavior on the command line:  {{{python log_capture_ap_interactive.py <my_file_name>}}}.  Just remember that the script uses relative paths from the '''Python_Reference/examples/txrx_log/''' directory so if you are trying to run the script from a different directory, you may see:
-{{{
