+/** This library is designed to work with devices like the LM335 temperature sensor.  There are only
+ * two requirements for compatibility of a device with this library: 1) It must be a sensor device
+ * that has an analog voltage output. 2) The physical quantity measured must vary linearly with 
+ * the analog voltage.  The LM335 which creates an analog voltage proportional to temperature
+ * can work very well with this library using the nominal multiplier of 0.0050354 and offset of 
+ * -273.15 or by providing two calibration points to the constuctor to generate a linear response.  It
+ * samples the sensor 9 times and uses the median to minimize the effect of poor ADC readings and sudden
+ * changes. 
+ * 
+ * Example:
+ * @code
+ * LinearTemp mysensor(p20, 0.0050354, -273.15);        // Setup a LM335 temp sensor on pin 20
+ * DigitalOut myled(LED1);
+ * 
+ * int main() {
+ *     while(1) {
+ *         // Light LED if filtered temperature is greater than 45 degrees Celsius
+ *         if (mysensor > 45) myled = 1;
+ *         else myled = 0;
+ *     }
+ * }
+ * @endcode
