logger_.setStreamPrintPeriod(0.005);
logger_.setVerbosity(VERBOSITY_ALL);
LoggerVerbosity alv = logger_.getVerbosity();

The first line sets the frequency at which the logger will be updated.<br>
The second line specifies at which frequency the STREAM messages should be
printed.<br>
The third line specifies the level of message to accept.<br>
The fourth line returns the level of verbosity.
In this case, all messages are accepted and the STREAM message are displayed on
the output streams once on five. <br>
The full list of options are:
<ul>
<li>VERBOSITY_ALL: Accept all messages</li>
<li>VERBOSITY_INFO_WARNING_ERROR: Accept messages at minimum level : INFO,
