RBNBToKepler actors should support all three sink modes: Subscribe, Monitor and
Request. Currently only Request is supported -- RBNBToKepler simulates Monitor
mode with Requests for the newest data in an endless do-while loop, and
RBNBToKepler2 and 3 make one Request for a user-specified timeslice of data.


1) Subscribe: The server pushes new data as it is received to the sink
application's designated channel map. All data is sent to the application in a
continuous stream regardless of whether the application can keep up.
2) Monitor: The server pushes new data as it is received to the sink
application's designated channel map. The server skips ahead, dropping data if
necessary, if the sink application gets too far behind in its processing.
3) Request: The sink application sends the server a channel map containing the
name of the channel, timestamp, and duration of the requested data. The server
responds by returning the channel map with the requested data filled in.
