It appears that ZMQ is used for inter-process communications as each window (using Qt) is a separate process and communicating received telemetry between the windows requires a local bus to redistribute messages amongst those individual processes. There is a brief mention in Guide-GroundSystem.txt at the top as to this functionality. At this point I'll close this ticket but will continue to consider options.
