how to divert an item on a conveyor at a Decision Point?

how to divert an item on a conveyor at a Decision Point (representing a Diverter) and send the item to another conveyor?

I want to stop the item at DP1 and send the item to DP2 after 1 second.

I don't want to decide the destination of the item at DP3.

The "Send" through a side transfer has to happen before the item's leading edge passes the transfer point. Up to the point where the transfer process starts (center of item reaches transfer point) you can still 'abort' the transfer to the side conveyor through and send the item straight on.

So at DP3 you would send the item to DP2 by default. At DP1 you either to nothing or you send it to a fourth DP on the same conveyor.
