Description

Unittest to ensure that the macro ALLOW_BACKPROP works correctly.

The test instrument includes two monitors, with a selectable ALLOW_BACKPROP in between.
The second monitor is placed physically "earlier" than the first, but logically after.

1) With Backprop=0 the second monitor (closer to the source) should yield a signal of 0
2) With Backprop=1 the second monitor should measure a signal since backpropagation is allowed

Input parameters

Parameters in boldface are required; the others are optional.

Name	Unit	Description	Default
Backprop	1	Flag to enable the ALLOW_BACKPROP macro	0
