+/**
+* The CSensrvChannel class provides an API that allows clients to open, control, configure, 
+* receive data and receive notifications from a sensor channel.
+* 
+* When instantiating CSensrvChannel an instance of TSensrvChannelInfo returned by
+* CSensrvChannelFinder::FindChannelsL() must be used. This ensures that internal data used
+* in identifying the chosen channel is passed back to Sensor Services in its entirety
+* therefore ensuring correct operation. Not using the instance returned by
+* CSensrvChannelFinder::FindChannelsL() will result in undefined behaviour.
+* 
+* On instantiation of this class a session connection to the Sensor Server is made. The Sensor
+* server is a transient server and is started, if not already running, when a session connection
+* is made. The sensor server is shutdown when a device-configured timeout period expires after
+* the last session connection has been dropped. The Sensor Server will not shutdown if there is
+* a session connection to it.
+* 
+* The instance of TSensrvChannelInfo returned by CSensrvChannelFinder::FindChannelsL()
+* contains a channel Id which is only valid for the lifetime of the sensor server. If a client
+* requires that this id remains unchanged then the client must ensure that an instance of either
+* CSensrvChannelFinder or CSensrvChannel remains instantiated. This keeps a session connection with
+* the server open which prevents the sensor server from shutting down.
+* 
+* After creating an instance of this class a client would typically:
+* 1. Check the configuration of the channel using GetPropertyL() or GetAllPropertuies().
+* 2. Change the configuration where necessary using SetPropertiesL()
+* 3. If SetPropertiesL() failed, because of higher priority clients of this same channel or higher
+* priority clients of impacted channels on the same sensor, listen for notifications indicating
+* when it is able to set properties using SetPropertyListenerl().
+* 4. Listen for property changes using SetPropertyListenerl(). This notifies the client of property
+* changes made by other clients of this same channel.
+* 5. Listen for data and retrieve data on the channel using StartDataListeningL() and GetData().
+* 6. Set trigger conditions for a 1 off notification when the condition is met using AddConditionL()
+* and SetConditionListeningL(). 
+* 
+* Its possible that there may be more than 1 client using the same sensor channel on the device. Each
+* of these clients will have created their own instance of CSensrvChannel and can attempt to configure
+* the sensor using the SetPropertyL() operation. To manage any contention between clients wishing to
+* change the configuration of the sensor a concept of Client Priorities is employed. This means that a
+* device creator assigns a pre-determined priority to a client. If a client has not been assigned a
+* priority then it is assumed it has the lowest priority.
+* 
+* When the SetPropertyL() operation is called the sensor server checks to see if the client has the
+* highest Client Priority of all clients using that channel or using an impacted channel on the same
+* sensor. If it has the property is set and all other clients of the channel are notified of the property
+* change. If it has not the SetPropertyL() operation fails with KErrAccessDenied. If clients have
+* the same priority then property setting is done on a first come first served basis.
+* 
+* If a client is unable to set a property because of higher priority clients then the client should
+* implement the MSensrvPropertyListener::SetPropertySuccessIndicationChanged() callback so that they can
+* be notified when they are able to set properties.
+* 
+* All client applications should be designed in such a way so that they are able to handle the situation
+* where they are unable to configure a channel using the SetPropertyL() operation.
+* 
+* For example:
+* Should application features be disabled or should the application shutdown in such conditions?
+* Should features be disabled under certain channel configurations?
+* 
+* This object is closed when deleted either by a call to operator delete or by the cleanup stack. No special
+* cleanup code is necessary to close the object before deletion.

+    *         It is recommended that whenever aDesiredCount needs to be low and sensor has relatively high
