Deprecated. General information to be used by a synapse. These values have been added directly to the primary Synapse object.
KeywordValueDescription
SYN_DATA
N/A
Indicates the start of a Data definition section
TYPE
name(string)
The name which will be used to refer to this object
SEED
value(integer)
The random number generator will use the value as the seed
MAX_CONDUCT
value(real)
Used with SYN_REVERSAL in calculating the current value of a PSG waveform
I(t) = MAX_CONDUCT * CurrentPSGValue * (SYN_REVERSAL - Membrane Voltage)
DELAY
mean(real)
stdev(real)
Before a synapse will output a new waveform, it will wait for the specified DELAY to expire. This value is given in seconds and will be converted using the FSV.
SYN_REVERSAL
mean(real)
stdev(real)
Used with MAX_CONDUCT in calculating the current value of a PSG waveform
I(t) = MAX_CONDUCT * CurrentPSGValue * (SYN_REVERSAL - Membrane Voltage)
END_SYN_DATA
N/A
Indicates the end of a Data definition section
