In case this is of any use to anyone following this thread, the carrier 
to noise ratio for the BSRU6 front end can be calculated in dB using the 
following information:

Register ADD 24 NIRH 8 bits (MSB of noise indicator)

Register ADD 25 NIRL 8 bits (LSB of noise indicator)

C/N (dB) = -0.0017 * NIR + 19.02
