Generic native interface functions
The native interface generic_func module contains the bulk of the functional code for the native interfaces
of the Pulsar and Cluster so that this code can be reused between instruments. The functions can be parametrized
using the FuncRefs
class that contains references to functions
of the native interfaces parent class.
