041/**
042 Produce an output token on each firing with a value that is
043 the current time. The output is of type double.
044 By default, this uses the local notion of time, which may
045 lag behind the global notion of time if this actor is used
046 inside a modal model. Under the Continuous director, it is
047 essential to use local time, and not global time
048 because of the speculative executions during numerical
049 ODE solving.
