Read output from a model asynchronously

After you run a model, you can read the output from a model asynchronously. This avoids Sentis blocking the main thread while it waits for the model to finish running then downloads the output data to the CPU.

Follow these steps:

1. Get a reference to the tensor output data using PeekOutput.
2. Use the Tensor.AsyncReadbackRequest method and provide a callback.
3. Sentis invokes the callback when the readback is complete. The boolean argument is true when readback was successful.
4. Use Tensor.MakeReadable to put the downloaded data into a readable state.

Refer to the AsyncReadback/AsyncReadbackCompute example in the sample scripts for an example.
