| ----------------- | --------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| *Pulse Input* (►) | **Pulse** | A standard **Input Pulse**, to trigger the execution of the **Node**. |
| `Seconds`         | **Float** | The desired elapsed time of the delay.                                |

## Outputs

| Output             | Type           | Description                                                                                                                            |
| ------------------ | -------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| *Pulse Output* (►) | **Pulse**      | A standard **Output Pulse**, to move onto the next **Node** along the **Logic Branch**, once this **Node** has finished its execution. |
| `Instance ID`      | **InstanceID** | The assigned **Instance** of an **Object**.                                                                                            |
| `OnStart` (►)      | **Pulse**      | Flows to additional actions following **Start Timeout** when the **Node** is executed                                                  |
| `OnEnd` (►)        | **Pulse**      | Flows to additional actions following **Start Timeout** when the execution of the **Node** is cancelled.                               |
