common workflow is to read a disk to a flux file, and then reread from the flux
file while changing the decoder options, to save disk wear. It's also much faster.
### Connecting it up
To use, simply plug your FluxEngine into your computer and run the client. If a
single device is plugged in, it will be automatically detected and used.
If _more_ than one device is plugged in, you need to specify which one to use
with the `--device` parameter, which takes the device serial number as a
parameter. You can find out the serial numbers by running the command without
