The units are not specified in the datasheets available to me. I suspect
that these are some sort of counter values related to the cap sensing.

The defaults differ for the different size glasses, so I really suspect
these are basically just numbers.

The only somewhat reasonable unit is available for the report-rate: it
is specified as about <value> * 10 touch reports per second.
