+  * index +0: <text> This is the "label" of the first entry, essentially, what it is, some devices have a hardcoded labels.
+  * index +1: <int> The raw value for the first label.
+  * index +2: <int> The maximum value for the first label.
+  * index N:  <text> Some devices have multiple values, this is the label for the next value.
+  * index N+1:<int> The raw value for the current label.
+  * index N+2:<int> The maximum value for the current label.
