All Implemented Interfaces:

CSProcess

public final class FixedDelay
extends java.lang.Object
implements CSProcess

This process copies input to output, imposing a fixed time delay between these events.

Process Diagram

Description

This process copies input to output, imposing a fixed time delay between these events. Note that this does not imply that the rate of output will be regular, since that depends on the rate of input and the rate at which output taken. To impose a regular rate of output, see Regulate.

Channel Protocols

Input Channels
in	java.lang.Object	The in Channel can accept data of any Class.
Output Channels
out	java.lang.Object	The out Channel sends the the same type of data (in fact, the same data) as is input.
