Maybe you can tell me or give me a hint. I have a pipe where objects (commands to the hardware) go though. They come in very irregular time intervals. I need an element that collects all the inputs and sends them to the output in the same order, but with a minimum distance in time (e.g. 500ms) between each sample. Like a rate limiter, but it outputs every input sample exactly once in the order how it arrived. Marius
