*allowed
* by program. Morevoer, its name must be unique if more than one program using
*this class
* is running on the same system (a control and a simlator for example). \n
* This class allows: \n
* -connexion with ground station, \n
* -creation of a QTabWidget on ground station, \n
* -handling of xml files, used for default values of Widgets, \n
* -logging of datas.
