+##### Frame Attributes
+
+Frame attributes represent quantities associated with a given frame which need not be specified by the programmer, but which are ultimately required to fully link and execute a Quilt program on a physical device.
+
+- `SAMPLE-RATE` is a floating point number indicating the rate (in Hz) of the digital-to-analog converter on the control hardware associated with this frame.
+- `INITIAL-FREQUENCY` is a floating point number indicating the initial frame frequency.
+- `DIRECTION` is one of `"tx"` or `"rx"`.
