// For faster GPIO on the clock pin, we write the IOPORT registers directly.
// PORT_BASE gives us the memory mapped location of the IOPORT register set
// for a pin; PINMASK gives us the bit pattern to write to the registers.
//
// - To turn a pin ON:  PORT_BASE(pin)->PSOR |= PINMASK(pin)
// - To turn a pin OFF: PORT_BASE(pin)->PCOR |= PINMASK(pin)
// - To toggle a pin:   PORT_BASE(pin)->PTOR |= PINMASK(pin)
//
// When used in a loop where the port address and pin mask are cached in
// local variables, this runs at the same speed as the FastIO library - about 
// 78ns per pin write on the KL25Z.  Not surprising since it's doing the same
// thing, and the compiler should be able to reduce a pin write to a single ARM
// instruction when the port address and mask are in local register variables.
// The advantage over the FastIO library is that this approach allows for pins
// to be assigned dynamically at run-time, which we prefer because it allows for
// configuration changes to be made on the fly rather than having to recompile
// the program.

        // are taken rather than continuously averaging over time

    }

    // Read the pixels.
    //
    // 'n' specifies the number of pixels to sample, and is the size of
    // the output array 'pix'.  This can be less than the full number
    // of pixels on the physical device; if it is, we'll spread the
    // sample evenly across the full length of the device by skipping
    // one or more pixels between each sampled pixel to pad out the
    // difference between the sample size and the physical CCD size.
    // For example, if the physical sensor has 1280 pixels, and 'n' is
    // 640, we'll read every other pixel and skip every other pixel.
    // If 'n' is 160, we'll read every 8th pixel and skip 7 between
    // each sample.
    // 
    // The reason that we provide this subset mode (where 'n' is less
    // than the physical pixel count) is that reading a pixel is the most
    // time-consuming part of the scan.  For each pixel we read, we have
    // to wait for the pixel's charge to transfer from its internal smapling
    // capacitor to the CCD's output pin, for that charge to transfer to
    // the KL25Z input pin, and for the KL25Z ADC to get a stable reading.
    // This all takes on the order of 20us per pixel.  Skipping a pixel
    // only requires a clock pulse, which takes about 350ns.  So we can
    // skip 60 pixels in the time it takes to sample 1 pixel.
    //
    // We clock an SI pulse at the beginning of the read.  This starts the
    // next integration cycle: the pixel array will reset on the SI, and 
    // the integration starts 18 clocks later.  So by the time this method
    // returns, the next sample will have been integrating for npix-18 clocks.  
    // That's usually enough time to allow immediately reading the next
    // sample.  If more integration time is required, the caller can simply
    // sleep/spin for the desired additional time, or can do other work that
    // takes the desired additional time.
    //
    // If the caller has other work to tend to that takes longer than the
    // desired maximum integration time, it can call clear() to clock out
    // the current pixels and start a fresh integration cycle.
