// Purpose: This file contains the class definition for RectangularSeries.
// RectangularSeries is a concrete class. A RectangularSeries object provides
// a rectangular pulse time series. the factor is given by the pseudoTime and 
// a constant factor provided in the constructor, the duration by tStart
// and tFinal;
//
// What: "@(#) RectangularSeries.h, revA"
