Detailed Description

To be implemented by the "device driver" part of a Chronos plugin.

A device in this context is something that controls a piece of hardware. It provides a basic infrastructure for Chronos that allows Chronos to let the user add any number of devices of this type to the configuration and to use them from tasks. Any device specific operation is beyond the scope of this interface. You should encapsulate your device's operations in the class implementing this interface and access them from device specific ITaskForDevice implementing classes and maybe from a class implementing IToolbox<DeviceType>.
