Name:

    testsuite::test_multimeter - Minimal test for correct multimeter setup

Synopsis:

    (test_multimeter) run -> NEST exits if test fails

Description:

      This test provides a minimal check for correct multimeter setup.

      For each model with a "recordables" property, it creates an instance,
      connects a multimeter to them requestin all properties, simulates briefly
      and checks that the correct number of data items is collected for each
      recordable.

      This test mainly ensures that init_buffers_() initializes the data logger.
      If a developer has forgotten to add recordables to get_status(), this test
      will ignore the pertaining neuron.
