I want to delay the Timer Event for Exactly for 1 second and followed the appian recommneded process  accordingly still there has been no effect 

The Duration of that node is always less than 1 second some times  like 0.58,0.060.8,0.36 these were the values seen.
I want to see Exactly 1 second.

Is there a way to configure to delay the node for exactly one second

Thanks In Advance

I'm curious how you came up with this values, please share.

Please can you share your use case.

From the numbers I see, this seems to be the time the node was active. This excludes the initial delay.

I think what Stefan said makes sense. But I am curious about your use case. 
What is your use case where you want to delay exactly for a second? Neither more nor less.

We have data incoming from External System and in order to pass the data back to the external system they want the call back from Appian in a delay just to make sure the system breathes!!

Is this a kind of a monitoring requirement? If yes, I suggest to check the documentation for how to monitor an Appian system and/or contact Appian.

Similar issue but want to have delay for 30 secs. I have configured as below

1. Implemented delay timer node

2. Configure "Delay until the date and time specified by this expression:" as now()+intervalds(0,0,1) for one second. (Your screenshot was helpful)
