TimedSource([INTERVAL, DATA, I<KEYWORDS>])

=s basicsources

periodically generates a packet

=d

Creates packets consisting of DATA. Pushes such a packet out its single output
about once every INTERVAL seconds. INTERVAL has millisecond precision. Default
INTERVAL is 500 milliseconds; default DATA is at least 64 bytes long.

Keyword arguments are:

=over 8

=item DATA

String. Same as the DATA argument.

=item INTERVAL

Number of seconds. Same as the INTERVAL argument.

=item LIMIT

Integer. Stops sending after LIMIT packets are generated; but if LIMIT is
negative, sends packets forever.

=item STOP

Boolean. If true, then stop the driver once LIMIT packets are sent. Default is
false.

=back

=e

  TimedSource(INTERVAL 0.333) -> ...

=h data read/write

Returns or sets the DATA parameter.

=h interval read/write

Returns or sets the INTERVAL parameter.
