Interface TimeService

The TimeService is the factory object for TIOs and UTOs. The actual time from the system is used, so the accuracy of the service is based on your systems clock. Use a precision source like a DCF77 receiver if you have high demand on precision. The actual routines to get the time from the system are containe in TimeService_help.cc, so you may easily use a better way than depending on $<$time.h$>$.

If you provide a hint to a MICO naming service when starting the service, the time service exports its reference. Otherwise you may use the stringified object reference.
