 # This is created to be able reuse the SinqDAQ interface
 # in Nicos, to avoid having more code to maintain there.
 #
+# Commands that has no actual relevant value that needs to be written to them:
+# * Pause
+# * Continue
+# * Stop
+# * Full reset
+# * Reset elapsed time
+# * Reset the counter/monitor value
+# Are all implemented as seq records. Due to how the existing
+# interface worked, they were being written 1 from nicos.
+# It just so turns out that seq record's VAL field triggers processing,
+# but a calcout records VAL field doesn't. seq record was the only option
+# to emulate these features with only 1 record per command.
+#
 # This requires following macros to specified:
 # INSTR: Instrument prefix, e.g. "SQAMOR:"
 # NAME: Name of the DAQ, e.g. "PROTONDAQ"
