====== The Monitor Class ======

Monitor is the abstract base class of recording devices in Auryn. Most popular examples are the [[SpikeMonitor]], the [[PopulationRateMonitor]], or the [[StateMonitor]] (these terms are taken from the [[http://briansimulator.org/|Brian simulator]] terminology and they do essentially the same). Monitor objects generally take a file name as argument as where to record the data to and are called by [[System]] once per [[duty cycle]].
