--- Models time events calling event handing functions.
-- 
-- @{SCHEDULER} class
-- ===================
-- The @{SCHEDULER} class models time events calling given event handling functions.
-- 
-- SCHEDULER constructor
-- =====================
-- The SCHEDULER class is quite easy to use:
-- 
--  * @{#SCHEDULER.New}: Setup a new scheduler and start it with the specified parameters.
--  
-- SCHEDULER timer methods
-- =======================
-- The SCHEDULER can be stopped and restarted with the following methods:
-- 
--  * @{#SCHEDULER.Start}: (Re-)Start the scheduler.
--  * @{#SCHEDULER.Start}: Stop the scheduler.
--

--- The SCHEDULER class
-- @type SCHEDULER
-- @extends Base#BASE
SCHEDULER = {
  ClassName = "SCHEDULER",
}


--- Constructor.
-- @param #SCHEDULER self
-- @param #table TimeEventObject Specified for which Moose object the timer is setup. If a value of nil is provided, a scheduler will be setup without an object reference.
-- @param #function TimeEventFunction The event function to be called when a timer event occurs. The event function needs to accept the parameters specified in TimeEventFunctionArguments.
-- @param #table TimeEventFunctionArguments Optional arguments that can be given as part of scheduler. The arguments need to be given as a table { param1, param 2, ... }.
-- @param #number StartSeconds Specifies the amount of seconds that will be waited before the scheduling is started, and the event function is called.
-- @param #number RepeatSecondsInterval Specifies the interval in seconds when the scheduler will call the event function.
-- @param #number RandomizationFactor Specifies a randomization factor between 0 and 1 to randomize the RepeatSecondsInterval.
-- @param #number StopSeconds Specifies the amount of seconds when the scheduler will be stopped.
-- @return #SCHEDULER self
