Read Response 
[0] 0x43 for continuous or 0x53 for single step mode 
[1] 0x53 for High Speed, 0x52 for Long Range, 0x41 for High Accuracy, 
0x43 for Custom or 0x54 for tinyLiDAR, else is Unknown preset 
configuration. 
[2][3] for Signal Rate Limit. Scale down by 65536 to get proper value in 
MCPS. Note that we are limited to a readout max value of 0.99MCPS due 
to the 16bit read but the serial log terminal output is not limited. 
[4] for Sigma Estimate Limit. In mm.  
[5][6] for Timing Budget in ms.  
[7] for 0x0e or 0x12 for 14/10 or 18/14 VCSEL period settings. 
[8][9][10] for the tinyLiDAR
 firmware version number. 
[11][12][13] for the ST PAL API version number.
