Description

We most likely want something less passive, but also not too intrusive. ESA wants this, so this should be implemented fairly soon. For it to be done so soon, it probably won't stay the final solution, as I want to be able to switch around all kinds of timer sources for synchronization and unit testing purposes, which the initial design probably won't entail.
