Connect AgentME4TFOF and SmartupUnit

• Developed within context of MET4FOF project (https://www.ptb.de/empir2018/met4fof/information-communication/blog/)
• How can we connect the smartup unit developed in WP1 to the agent framework in WP2?
• two repos are included as submodules : agentMET4FOF (https://github.com/bangxiangyong/agentMET4FOF) and datareceiver (https://github.com/Met4FoF/datareceiver)

connect_agents_smartupunit_v1.py

• Connect sensor agent without generic plotter provided by datareceiver submodule
• WP1_SensorAgent sends the sensor numerical data to the MonitorAgent instance.

connect_agents_smartupunit_v2.py

• Connect sensor agent with generic plotter, where matplotlib figures are generated within and sent from WP1_SensorAgent. The sensor agent does not send the raw sensor data to the monitor agent in this case.
• I repackaged some functions in generic plotter to be more modular, perhaps a pull request can be made to incorporate into the main repo due to its genericity.
• Strangely, the __getShortunitStr could not be detected and had to be reimported, I guess this is due to the double underscores? I resolved it by removing the underscores: genericPlotter.__getShortunitStr = getShortunitStr
