Parameter
Description
Offset (°C)
The Offset is used to control the overshoot of the Thermode
temperature when it reaches the destination temperature. To
determine the offset required, run the program with different values
until you are satisfied with the results.
Note that increasing the offset will reduce the overshoot and
decreasing the offset will increase the overshoot.
Valid Range: 0 – 10 (default is 2). The software will display a
warning if the offset parameter is set to be lower than then the
default. The default offset can be set in the Test Settings.
Destination criterion
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.
Number of pulses in
trial
Number of pulses, between high and low destinations, in a trial (until
temperature returns to baseline). Valid Range: 1 to 100
Number of Trials
The number of trials per sequence. Valid range: 1 to 999
Randomize with next
Randomize trials with next sequence
Use dynamic factor
Dynamic factor locally offsets the LUT, according to a predetermined
value (Hardware settings  General). Refer to section 10.2.1 page
117XX
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 evens 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.
