The Timer task is essentially a "delay" or "wait" command. When a timer task is executed in a running Action, the Action "waits" for the timer duration before moving on to the next task in the action list.Timer tasks have a resolution of 1/100th of a second. The maximum length allowed for a timer task is 23:59:59.990 - 23 hours, 59 minutes, 59 seconds, 990 milliseconds (99 centiseconds).
