Function:

The uLoadWatch application is used for monitoring load of apps in the MOOS community. It works by checking for *_ITER_GAP and *_ITER_LEN information posted by each app. An app, pFooBar, posts PFOOBAR_ITER_GAP as the ratio of observed application interval over requested application interval. For an app running at 4Hz, a reported ITER_GAP of 3 means a gap 0.75 seconds was observed between two successive iterations.
