dp function delay is set by default to 5

[RudiKreiner]

The dp_fct config has an element named delay.
If I create a dp_fct using the ascii manager import, like in this example

# DP_Function
ElementName TypeName _dp_fct.._type _dp_fct.._param _dp_fct.._fct _dp_fct.._stat_type _dp_fct.._interval
SilGnl.PwsDry.Vtg002Raw SIL_GNL 63 SilGnl.PwsDry.Vtg001Raw:_online.._value p1 9 10

the delay element gets set to 5 seconds, even though that element is not a part of my input file.

At first I had my interval set to 5 seconds and saw that the delay was also 5 and suspected that this number was written to both elements.
But even if I change the interval to another value (10 in the above example) the delay gets set to 5.

So apparently 5 is the default value. This is not documented in the help.
If this is intentional behaviour, then it should at least be documented.
But to me it makes no sense. I think that the default value should be 0.

Using a default value of 5 seconds makes sense for the delay in statistical functions.
We will modify the documentation.
