The table below describes the program parameters available for Ramp and Hold method:
Table 14: Program Parameters
Temperature from which each new stimulation sequence begins.
ATS: 10°C – 45°C
CHEPS: 30°C – 45°C
Time before
sequence (sec)
The time interval before the first trial. Valid range: 0 to 600 (sec).
Trigger mode:
Automatic – the stimulus will start automatically after the
defined Inter Stimulus Interval (ISI).
Manual – The operator must initiate the onset of the
stimulus after the defined ISI (using the manual trigger,
keyboard shortcut or TTL-IN)
Destination
temperature (°C)
Defines the destination temperature for all trials in the current
sequence. Valid range is limited by safety limitations and depends on
the duration time.
Destination rate
(°C/Sec)
Defines the temperature change rate from the baseline to
destination temperature.
CHEPS: 0.1 to 70°C/Sec
ATS: 0.1 to 8°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.
