This plugin provides the current (system) time in regular intervals. The time is delivered to the two output ports as both a timestamp and a TimestampRecord instance.

The reader can be configured to emit an arbitrary amount of signals. It can also be configured to emit an infinite amount of signals.

The sent timestamps are created using System.nanoTime() as a time source, which is being converted to the global time unit (as defined in the configuration from the given IProjectContext).
