Name:

    testsuite::test_sinusoidal_poisson_generator - test basic properties of sinusoidal poisson generator

Synopsis:

    (test_sinusoidal_poisson_generator) run -> dies if assertion fails

Description:

      This test asserts that
     	- that /individual_spike_trains is true by default
     	- the /individual_spike_trains property can be set on the model, but not on instances
     	- that instances inherit the correct /individual_spike_trains value
     	- that different targets (on same or different threads)
      * identical spike trains if /individual_spike_trains is false
      * different spike trains otherwise
     	- that a multimeter can be connected to record the rate
      * independent of /individual_spike_trains ..., only a single trace is returned
     	- the recorded rate profile is tested against expectation

      This test DOES NOT test the statistical properties of the spike trains generated.
