Inputs:

A boolean that triggers stimulus delivery

Configuration#

Configuration is performed using either the property pane or a configuration GUI which provides a graphical representation of the stimulus waveform.

Parameters available through the property pane are as follows:

Name	Type	Description
Enable	boolean	Enable or disable the stimulator. If the stimulator is disabled, it will not respond to trigger inputs. This setting is useful if you wish to interleave electrical and optical stimuli, since they share a trigger line on some headstages.
PowerOn	boolean	If true, the stimulator power circuitry is turned on. When not in use, its a good idea to keep this false to reduce headstage power consumption and possible increased noise.
PhaseOneCurrent	double	Phase 1 pulse current (uA).
PhaseTwoCurrent	public double	Phase 2 pulse current (uA).
InterPhaseCurrent	double	Resting current between pulse phases(uA).
PhaseOneDuration	double	Phase 1 pulse duration (msec). This value can be 0 for monophasic stimulation.
InterPhaseDuration	double	Inter-pulse phase duration (msec).This value can be 0 if no inter-phase current is required.
PhaseTwoDuration	double	Phase 2 pulse duration (msec). This value can be 0 for monophasic stimulation.
PulsePeriod	double	Pulse period (msec).
BurstPulseCount	unit	Number of pulses to deliver in a burst.
InterBurstInterval	double	Interburst interval (msec).
TrainBurstCount	uint	Number of bursts to deliver in a train.
TrainDelay	double	Delay between issue of trigger and start of train (msec).

The configuration GUI is identical to the property pane, but provides a plot of the stimulus waveform.
