Options

period: The period in milliseconds
timefromstart: If set to true, start from 0. Else start from Jan 1th 1970. (Default: false)

Commands

setperiod: TODO

Example

PQL

wrapper='GenericPush',
transport='Timer',
protocol='None',
dataHandler='Tuple',
options=[['period', '1000'], ['timefromstart', 'true'],

})

or shorter:
