 '''
 Module for implementing a UR controller real-time monitor over socket port 30003.
 Confer http://support.universal-robots.com/Technical/RealTimeClientInterface
-Note: The packet lenght given in the web-page is 740. What is actually received from the controller is 692. It is assumed that the motor currents, the last group of 48 bytes, are not send.
