  Sample Application
  ==================
  
  This sample application is the simplest BACpypes application that is
  a complete stack.  Using an INI file it will configure a
  LocalDeviceObject, create a SampleApplication instance, and run,
  waiting for a keyboard interrupt or a TERM signal to quit.
  
  There is no input or output for this application, but by adding --debug to
  the command line when it is run you can check the behavior of the stack by
  seeing what is sent and received.
