+// (Note: The term "register" is used loosely here.  These "registers" are not actually registers in the same sense of a
+// microcontroller register.  They are simply index locations into arrays stored in global memory.  Data and configuration
+// parameters are stored in arrays because it allows a common communication protocol to be used to access all data and
+// configuration.  The software communicating with the sensor needs only specify the register address, and the communication
+// software running on the sensor knows exactly where to find it - it needn't know what the data is.  The software communicatin
+// with the sensor, on the other hand, needs to know what it is asking for (naturally...)
+// This setup makes it easy to make more data immediately available when needed - simply increase the array size, add code in
+// the firmware that writes data to the new array location, and then make updates to the firmware definition on the PC side.
