   been to the beamline, the object uses gdascripts.pd.time_pds.waittimeClass2

   class waittimeClass2(ScannableMotionBase):
   	'''waittimeClass - waits for elapsed time. Use as dummy counter in scans etc'''
   	
   	def __init__(self, name):
   		self.setName(name);
   		self.setInputNames(['Time'])
   		self.Units=['sec'];
   		self.setOutputFormat(['%6.2f'])
   		self.setLevel(7)
   		self.timer=tictoc()
   		self.waitfortime=0
   		self.currenttime=self.timer()
   
   	def rawAsynchronousMoveTo(self,waittime):
   		self.currenttime=self.timer()
   		self.waitfortime=self.currenttime+waittime
   
   	def rawGetPosition(self):
   		return 0.
   
   	def isBusy(self):
   		if self.timer()<self.waitfortime:
   			return 1
   		else:
   			return 0

   We can achieve this in dodal using soft signal for the time to wait and should be the hinted signal. It should implement Movable protocol and sleeps for x amount of time of soft signal. It should be Triggerable and also sleep for x amount of time
