Using Delays

Delays are a helpful way to postpone the start of an application. For instance, if we need our TouchDesigner_Data processes to start 10 seconds after sudoSignals launches, we can use a delay.

We can add a delay by pressing the Add Delay button in the Processes column.

Adjusting Delays

By default, delays are set to 0.5 seconds. Click on the clock icon to adjust the duration of the delay.

A dialog will appear where you can adjust the duration (in seconds).

The placement of the delay can also be adjusted by using the handle icon (left) of the delay card.

Multiple Processes

Delays are also a great way to organize multiple processes. Without delays, sudoSignals will launch all applications on start at the same time. With delays, we can organize our processes to start in a specific order and cadence.
