The Delay block

The Delay block receives data from one or more blocks, then waits the specified number of milliseconds before sending the data from its output port. The timer starts when the Delay block receives data. If the Delay block receives data from multiple blocks, it will wait the specified amount of time before sending each block's data in the order the data was received.

Input

The delay timer begins when the input port receives data. You can connect one or more blocks' output ports to the Delay block's input port.

Outputs

When the delay is complete, the output port sends the data the Delay block received. If the Delay block received data from multiple blocks, each block's data is sent in the order it was received. The delay is applied to each block's data.

Setup

Delay - Select this number and enter the number of milliseconds you want the Delay block to wait. You can also increase or decrease the number with the plus and minus icons.
