Hmm... Your problem statement is still ambiguous.
If you want the delay to be a real-time delay, then you can set the synchronizeToRealTime parameter of the DEDirector.
If what you need is the effect of a latch, then you want to combine the TimedDelay with the Previous actor (in the domain-specific/DE library).
It's also possible that the actor you want is Sleep (in the real-time library).

Thanks for the response...
TimedDelay just sends out a token after a specified delay (send (token, delay)).
what I am looking at is to stop(delay) the execution by a clock and proceed.
I could have used TimedDelay if I had to delay in a particular simulation.
But I need to delay inside an actor and not while sending out the Token.
Just somehow hold the execution for one clock. Its a flipflop kind of a device
which needs to hold the data for 1 clock and then give it out to the next stage of
execution.
