Command: step_current_generator

NEST HelpDesk Command Index NEST Quick Reference
Name:
step_current_generator - provides a piecewise constant DC input current
Examples:
 
The current can be altered in the following way:
/step_current_generator Create /sc Set
sc << /amplitude_times [0.2 0.5] /amplitude_values [2.0 4.0] >> SetStatus

The amplitude of the DC will be 0.0 pA in the time interval [0, 0.2),
2.0 pA in the interval [0.2, 0.5) and 4.0 from then on.

Description:
 
The dc_generator provides a piecewise constant DC input to the
connected node(s). The amplitude of the current is changed at the
specified times. The unit of the current is pA.

Parameters:
 
The following parameters can be set in the status dictionary:
amplitude_times list of doubles - Times at which current changes in ms
amplitude_values list of doubles - Amplitudes of step current current in
pA

Sends:
CurrentEvent
