Destination rate
(°C/Sec)
Defines the temperature change rate from the baseline to
destination temperature.
Destination rates are limited according to the destination
temperature, as follows:
For destination between 20°C – 25°C: rate limits are 0.1-15°C/Sec
For destination between 25°C – 30°C: rate limits are 0.1-20°C/Sec
Temperature: The system recognizes that it has reached the target
temperature, by monitoring the temperature.
Time: The system recognizes that it has reached the target
temperature, by referring to the theoretical time that is required to
reach the destination temperature according to the selected rate.
Defines the duration for Thermode temperature to remain at
destination temperature before returning to baseline. Valid range: 0
to 600 (sec)
Defines whether the temperature returns to the baseline or
proceeds to the destination temperature of the next sequence.
Select the relevant option from the drop-down menu.
Note that when the “next destination” option is selected certain
fields become inactive, because they are no longer relevant (for
example, the Number of Trials turns to ‘1’).
Defines the temperature change rate from the destination
temperature back to baseline.
CHEPS: 0.1 to 40°C/Sec
The number of trials per sequence. Valid range: 1 to 20
Randomizes the next trial or sequence.
It is strongly advised not to use this option with Cold Temperature
pulses and to allow at least 5 minutes break between sequences.
Minimum Inter-Stimulus-Interval (ISI). Valid range: 0 to 600 (sec)
Maximum Inter-Stimulus-Interval (ISI). Valid range: 0 to 600 (sec).
Actual ISI will be randomized between min and max values.
Different events which can be indicated during the test via TTL or
Sound. See section 7.8
Indicate different temperature points via TTL or Sound. See
section 7.9.
