 * @brief CTA observation simulator tool interface defintion
 *
 * This class simulates CTA observation(s) using Monte Carlo sampling of the
 * source and background models. The class supports simulation of data of
 * multiple CTA observations in one shot. If multiple CTA observations are
 * processed and the save method is called, events FITS files will be written
 * for each observation.
