class	GFrameHeader

Detailed Description

A "frame" is a higher-level time grouping than an event. In streaming/readout-style output, the system may produce integrated payloads over a fixed time window (a frame).

The GFrameHeader stores:

• a frame identifier (frameID)
• a frame duration (frameDuration)

From these it can compute a deterministic time coordinate via getTime().

Units:

• Units are caller-defined (ms, ns, ticks, ...).
• The class does not enforce units; it simply combines ID and duration consistently.

Threading:

• The static factory create() uses a thread-safe global counter for examples/tests.
