Roach2Heterodyne.get_measurement_blocks() block length

[danielflanigan]

This method doesn't return 4096-sample blocks, like the corresponding methods for other roaches, and instead seems to return a number of samples that depends on the number of tone frequencies. Is it actually returning data corresponding to a certain number of packets?

There's nothing inherently wrong with this, but it's confusing. It would be very helpful to have comments for these methods.

The idea is that different designs have different block lengths, so
get_measurement_blocks is an expert function and get_measurement is the
high level interface. But certainly the documentation can be improved.

Fair enough. Usually I just want get_data_seconds, but occasionally it's useful to have an easy way to get a particular number of samples.

Just added #17 to address this use case
