Parameter
Description
Duration time (sec)
Defines the duration for Thermode temperature to remain at
destination temperature before returning to baseline. Valid range: 0
to 600 (sec)
Return option
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’).
Return Rate
(°C/Sec)
Defines the temperature change rate from the destination
temperature back to baseline.
CHEPS: 0.1 to 40°C/Sec
ATS: 0.1 to 8°C/Sec
Number of Trials
The number of trials per sequence. Valid range: 1 to 100
Enable Pain Rating
Enable or disable the option to add numerical pain ratings during the
test. If enabled, the operator will be prompted to enter a number
between 0 and 100 at the end of every trial in the sequence.
The pain rating option can be further customized with the pain rating
add-on license. Available configurations include multiple ratings per
trial, customized input range, limited input duration and etc. For
more information see section 17.
Randomize with next
Randomize trials with next sequence
ISI Min (sec)
Minimum Inter-Stimulus-Interval (ISI). Valid range: 0 to 600 (sec)
ISI Max (sec)
Maximum Inter-Stimulus-Interval (ISI). Valid range: 0 to 600 (sec).
Actual ISI will be randomized between min and max values.
Standard events
Different events which can be indicated during the test via TTL or
Sound. See section 7.8
Temperature events
Indicate different temperature points via TTL or Sound. See
section 7.9.
