Sets the minimum and maximum temperature that is allowed
during a test for ATS and CHEPS Thermodes. This parameter
does not replace the safety limitation of the PATHWAY; it allows
limiting the stimulus temperature to a specific range, according
to unique requirements.
In case the temperature violates the temperature limits, the
following actions are taken by the PATHWAY system:
Limits protocol: stimulus is terminated and temperature returns
to baseline temperature, and then continues to the next trial.
The terminated trial is marked with an asterisk. The terminated
trial will be taken into consideration when calculating test
statistics.
Search protocol: the temperature does not exceed the allowed
range, according to the temperature limiter. In case search
temperature exceeds the allowed range, the test switches to the
“pause” status and settles on the baseline temperature, until it is
resumed. Temperature limiter is marked with an asterisk upon
violation of the allowed range.
Ramp & Hold Protocol: upon verifying a program the test
parameters are checked according to the current temperature
limiter. In case a temperature limit of a test parameter is
violated, an error message indicating the violated parameter is
displayed.
Pulses Protocol: upon verifying a program, the test parameters
are checked according to the current temperature limiter. In case
a temperature limit of a test parameter is violated, an error
message indicating the violated parameter is displayed.
