DESCRIPTION
-----------
The source application generates signals for other federates. It is similar
to the player except that it generates signals using a mathematical function
like sine, ramp, pulse, or random walk. This can be useful for sending probing
signals or testing the response of a federate to various stimuli.

OPTIONS
-------
--default_period <time>::
