class SCA_DelaySensor(SCA_ISensor):
	"""
	The Delay sensor generates positive and negative triggers at precise time,
	expressed in number of frames. The delay parameter defines the length
	of the initial OFF period. A positive trigger is generated at the end of this period. 
	The duration parameter defines the length of the ON period following the OFF period.
	There is a negative trigger at the end of the ON period. If duration is 0, the sensor
	stays ON and there is no negative trigger.
	The sensor runs the OFF-ON cycle once unless the repeat option is set: the
	OFF-ON cycle repeats indefinately (or the OFF cycle if duration is 0).
	Use SCA_ISensor::reset() at any time to restart sensor.
