Timer Question

[Amir Nashat <an...@CJ.COM>]

Hello all,

I asked this on Friday but I have had no response so I will ask again. Can anyone explain the difference between the timer options? The documentation is pretty sparse. Any examples of which to use in what situation would be helpful. I have researched the faq, help and gone through google but not much has been explained. Any help would be appreciated.


TIA
amir

Constant timer creates a delay between each sample that is the same for all 
samples.

Gaussian random creates a delay that will average X milliseconds, but in such a 
way as to create a bell-shaped distribution around that average.  The average is 
the sum of the offset (minimum delay) and the deviation (the range of values).

Uniform random timer creates a uniform distribution around the average.
