Gaussian Random Timer

Part of the Timers category. Also documented in context in the full Component Reference.

This timer pauses each thread request for a random amount of time, with most of the time intervals occurring near a particular value. The total delay is the sum of the Gaussian distributed value (with mean 0.0 and standard deviation 1.0) times the deviation value you specify, and the offset value. Another way to explain it, in Gaussian Random Timer, the variation around constant offset has a Gaussian curve distribution.
