By, default parameters are drawn using straight lines, however you can make them have a curved line.

Double click on the second D0 in the diagram to open its Delay Properties dialog.

Check Display as Curved Arrow to make the delay redraw as as curved arrow.

You can add or delete curve points by right clicking on the curve and choosing the Add Curve Point or Delete Curve Point menu.
