During the debugging of a 32-bit embedded microcontroller, a systems engineer must frequently monitor and configure individual register pin states.
Explain why representing these 32-bit register states in hexadecimal notation is highly advantageous for the engineer compared to using either binary or denary (base-10) notation.
