Comments

Slammer outputs time values separated by period as fast as possible. It is intended for use in processing that depends on the virtual time system (e.g., almost all signal sources) but can does not need to be done in real time.

Slammer starts outputting values whenever it receives a unit via its start inlet and stops when a unit is received via the stop inlet or the value of the inlet/parameter stop_time has been exceeded. When output stops, a unit is emitted via clockStopped outlet.
