-Name: testsuite::ticket-737 Ensure that stimulation devices can only be connected with a single synapse type
-
-Synopsis: (ticket-737) run -> NEST exits if test fails
-
-Description:
-Ensure that NEST throws an exception if one tries to connect poisson_generator
-(sending DSSpikeEvents), noise_generator (sending DSCurrentEvents) or multimeter
-(sending DataLoggingRequest) to a neuron using a plastic synapse.
-
-spike_generator slips through this test, since it usually sends SpikeEvent. But it
-is no danger if it sends DSSpikeEvents for weighted spikes, since it sends precisely
-one DSSpikeEvent per spike.
