ApproximateChunkRate¶
Approximate a particular rate of chunks per second in the output.
This node can be used to reduce the effective update rate of a streaming pipeline, for example to 5 Hz. As a result, the node will only output new data 5 times a second. However, since the input to this node comes in at a certain update rate, if the two rates are not divisors of each other, the output will not be exactly 5 Hz (e.g., every 3 cycles, the data may be empty). To get a more regular chunk rate, the node Regulate Chunk Sizes can be used after this node. Version 1.0.0
Ports/Properties¶
data¶
Data to process.
- verbose name: Data
- default value: None
- port type: DataPort
- value type: Packet (can be None)
- data direction: INOUT
desired_rate¶
Number of chunks per second. This node will output approximately this many chunks per second.
- verbose name: Chunks Per Second

- port type: FloatPort
- value type: float (can be None)
set_breakpoint¶
Set a breakpoint on this node. If this is enabled, your debugger (if one is attached) will trigger a breakpoint.
- verbose name: Set Breakpoint (Debug Only)
- default value: False
- port type: BoolPort
- value type: bool (can be None)
metadata¶
User-definable meta-data associated with the node. Usually reserved for technical purposes.
- verbose name: Metadata
- default value: {}
- port type: DictPort
- value type: dict (can be None)
