Description

This process generates a constant stream of Integers at a regular rate – at least, it does its best! If the consumption of data is less than the set rate, that rate cannot be sustained. If the consumption failure is only temporary, the set rate will be restored when consumption resumes.

The interval (in msecs) defining the output flow rate is given by a constructor argument.

Channel Protocols

Output Channels
out	int	A constant value is sent down this channel at a regular rate.
