  /** Implementation of the NDRegisterAccessor which delivers always the same
   * value and ignors any write operations.

   * If AccessMode::wait_for_new_data was set, TransferElement::read() will
   * return once with the initial value, and the block on the second call, waiting for new
   * data which obviously nerver arrives. A blocking call can be interrupted by
   * calling TransferElemtent::interrupt, which will throw a boost::thread_interrupted exception.
   *
   * For writing, it conceptually works like /dev/null. The data is intentionally dropped and
   * not considered "lost". Hence write() and writeNonBlocking() always return 'false' (no data
   * was lost), so it can also be connected to modules which retry sending data for fault recovery
   * until they succeed.
