o Delay the incoming Data Structure or token by a variable time period.
This block delays the incoming Data Structure by the value specified in the Delay Parameter. When the Delay time has completed, the incoming data structure is sent to the output port. Any number of Data Structures can be simultaneously delayed by using this block. The order of the Data Structures on the output port will be based on the arriving Time (TNOW) plus the delay associated with that Data Structure. So, the input order of data structures can be different from the output order.
Refer Delay demo model.
