frequency (f)		float
	The timestamp is ignored and the specified frequency is used. If timeStamp data is not in the .mov file, the -noTimestamp flag should also be used. This flag resample, instead the data is assumed to be at the specified frequency.C: If the take file does not use time stamps, the default frequency is 60Hz.Flag can appear in Create mode of commandFlag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list.

Derived from mel command maya.cmds.readTake

Example:

import pymel.core as pm

#    Read data info the clock device and apply.
pm.readTake( device='clock', take='clock.mov' )
pm.applyTake( device='clock' )
