7.6 IsContinuous

The dosing device can be installed on an extruder (EXT) or an injection moulding machine (IMM). EXT is a continuous process, IMM is a cyclic process. For inline dosing devices, directly mounted on the feed throat of an IMM the IsContinuous flag is false, when installed on an EXT this flag is true.

For batch blenders which are cyclic based by themselves, this flag is set true since the output flow of a batch blender does not need to be synchronized with for example an IMM.
