Delay
This node will stop downstream execution for a period of time before continuing. The period of time is in ‘Duration’, measured in seconds, and begins when ‘Execute In’ is activated. Once the delay period has elapsed the node activates its ‘Finished’ signal, and execution continues downstream. It is important to note that the execution can only resume when the application next updates. As the length of the application update varies based on the complexity, the ‘Duration’ is merely a minimum delay time. For example if the ‘Duration’ is 10 seconds and the application update time is 7 seconds then the node will trigger somewhere around the 14 second mark. After the first execution only 7 seconds will have elapsed, less than the 10 seconds requested, and at the second execution it will be a total of 14 seconds, which will be recognized as satisfying the ‘Duration’ requirement.
