+ \Description{A diagram showing the signal processing flow. The diagram shows a number of steps going from grid
+ voltage waveform to trigger decition. The diagram begins with the DMA-assisted ADC capture. At this point, the
+ signal is a clean analog sine wave. The next step is grid frequency estimation, after which the signal is a
+ noise-like ragged line. After grid frequency estimation follows DSSS demodulation, which itself is made up of three
+ steps. The first step of DSSS demodulation is convolution, which produces a small noise signal with a large peak
+ somewhere in the middle. The peak is roughly ten times the amplitude of the noise and has two prominent negative
+ sidelobes to the left and right. The following step, CWT peak contrast enhancement, clenas up this signal and
+ removes the side-lobes leaving only the positive peak sticking out of the background noise. The final step of DSSS
+ demodulation is maximum likelihood estimation, which produces a vector of n plus k discrete elements. After DSSS
+ demodulation, this vector is passed through Reed-Solomon error correction, which transforms it into a vector of now
+ only n discrete elements. This vector is then finally processed in the cryptographic trigger protocol, which
+ produces the final trigger decision.}
