//       Class : DialNode
// Description : This is the primary interface to infinite dial type
//               devices associated with a ClientBase.  This creates a
//               node that connects to the named dial device, if it
//               exists, and provides hooks to the user to read the
//               state of any of the sequentially numbered dial
//               controls associated with that device.
//
//               A dial is a rotating device that does not have
//               stops--it can keep rotating any number of times.
//               Therefore it does not have a specific position at any
//               given time, unlike an AnalogDevice.
