                /** A class for grabing "range images" from a MESA imaging SwissRanger 3D cameras (SR-2, SR-3000, SR-4k).
                  * 
                  * NOTES:
                  *             - This class requires a vendor specific driver installed in the system in order to build MRPT with support for this sensor. Download and install the driver from: http://www.mesa-imaging.ch/drivers.php
                  *             - The intensity channel (grayscale image) is converted from 16bit to standard 8bit-per-pixel using a logarithmic, modified A-law compression. This allows exploiting the full dynamic range of the sensor and provides quite good results.
                  *
                  * As with any other CGenericSensor class, the normal sequence of methods to be called is:
                  *   - loadConfig() - Or calls to the individual setXXX() to configure the camera parameters.
                  *   - initialize() - to init the comms with the camera
                  *   - call getNextObservation() for getting the frames.
                  *
                  *  This sensor can be also used from within rawlog-grabber.
                  *
