Before the self-monitoring, the auto-mute during Tx needs to be disabled: 24 25``` 26./sdrctl dev sdr0 set reg xpu 1 1 27``` 28 29CSI self-monitoring before fuzzing. 30 31 32 33CSI self-monitoring after fuzzing command: `csi_fuzzer.sh 1 45 0 13` 34 35 36 37`csi_fuzzer_scan.sh` can scan the c1 and c2 in different styles/modes by calling `csi_fuzzer.sh`. 38
