The Gaussian Random Timer has a random deviation (based on Gauss curve distribution) around the constant delay offset.

For example:

  • Deviation: 100 ms
  • Constant Delay Offset: 300 ms

The delay will vary between 200 ms (300 - 100) and 400 ms (300 + 100) based on Gauss distribution for about 68% of the cases.
