Pwr_AE.ThreshAE

Type: INSTANCE FUNCTION

Purpose: Setup threshold conditions which must be met before the Pwr_AE.StopAtAE() tests are performed.

Once any of the threshold tests is met, the StopAt criteria are evaluated for the rest of the scan. There are six threshold tests that you can perform:

VMin V < V_MinThresh VMax V > V_MaxThresh ADVMin abs(dV/dt) < ADV_MinThresh ADVMax abs(dV/dt) > ADV_MaxThresh DVMin dV/dt < DV_MinThresh DVMax dV/dt < DV_MaxThresh

Threshold tests allow you to tune the StopAt tests more carefully. For example, you can avoid a premature experiment termination caused by an initial transient.

NOTE: Any threshold test starts all StopAt tests. Also once StopAt testing is enabled, it is never disabled, even if the Threshold test that enabled it is not longer valid.

Usage:

Pwr_AE.ThreshAE(channel#, Vmin, Vmax, ADVMin, ADVMax, DVMin, DVMax) channel# INDEX AE channel number or NIL All AE channels VMin REAL Enable StopAt if V < VMin or NIL Disable this test VMax REAL Enable StopAt if V > VMax or NIL Disable this test ADVMin REAL Enable StopAt If abs(dV/dt) < ADVMin or NIL Disable this test ADVMax REAL Enable StopAt If abs(dV/dt) > ADVMax or NIL Disable this test DVMin REAL Enable StopAt If dV/dt < DVMin or NIL Disable this test DVMax REAL Enable StopAt If dV/dt > DVMax or NIL Disable this test
