RELACS - E-Fields Plugins: CalibEField

CalibEField [RePro] [E-Fields Plugins]

Calibrates an attenuator for electric field stimuli.

Note: Intensity for attenuation is interpreted as 0.5 * p-p amplitude; Calibration non-sine EODs has an offset!

Options

reset=false: Reset calibration? (boolean)
resetval=0.1: Reset gain factor to (number)
am=false: Calibrate amplitude modulation? (boolean)
beatfreq=20Hz: Beat frequency to be used when fish EOD present (number)
frequency=600Hz: Stimulus frequency to be used when no fish EOD is present (number)
duration=400ms: Duration of stimulus (number)
pause=0ms: Pause (number)
amplsel=contrast: Calibrate for (string)
targetcontrast=20%: Target contrast to be tested first (number)
mincontrast=10%: Minimum contrast (number)
maxcontrast=25%: Maximum contrast (number)
targetamplitude=1mV/cm: Target contrast to be tested first (number)
minamplitude=0.5mV/cm: Minimum amplitude (number)
maxamplitude=2mV/cm: Maximum amplitude (number)
numintensities=10: Number of intensities (amplitudes) to be measured (integer)

Files

calibrate.dat : the calibration data (measured versus requested stimulus intensity).

Plots: The plot shows the measured versus the requested stimulus intensity (red circles). The yellow line is a fit of a straight line to the data. In case of a successful calibration this line should coincide with the blue line. The horizontal white line is the target intensity.

Requirements

An EOD recording (GlobalEOD, LocalEOD, FishEOD), that is to be calibrated, and corresponding events.
