@abc.abstractmethod<EOL><INDENT>def get_granularity_multiplier(self):<DEDENT>
return<EOL>
If the granularity of the measurement equals ``get_granularity(),`` then the multiplier is 1.

        This method may return a different number when the granularity
        differs from one of the defined resolutions.

        :return: granularity multiplier
        :rtype: ``cardinal``
