A minimal control system for managing a single "Oscilloscope sweep" level simulation run.
Neuron time (ms). The field editor is updated regularly to display the value of the global variable :hoct
.
Value of the fundamental integration time step, :hocdt
, used by :hocfadvance
. When a value is entered into the field editor it is rounded down so that an integral multiple of fadvance's make up a SingleStep
Initialize states, set t=0, and run the simulation until t == Tstop Plotting to graphs constructed from the hoc_NEURONMainMenu
occurs at a rate given by the variable set by the hoc_Plotsms
value editor. It is often convenient to substitute problem specific procedures for the default procedures :hocinit
and :hocadvance
. The run call chain is
run continuerun step advance fadvance
The default advance is merely
proc advance() {
fadvance()
}
and is a good candidate for substitution by a problem specific user routine.
Warning
multiple presses of the this button without waiting for the previous simulation to finish (or pressing Stop) will execute the run() procedure recursively (probably not what is desired) Press the Stop button to unwrap these recursions.
The default initialize procedure initializes states using :hocfinitialize
(v_init) where v_init is displayed in the value editor. The init call chain is
stdinit init (finitialize fcurrent)
When more complicated initialization is required, use :hocFInitializeHandler
statements or substitute a new procedure for the default init procedure:
proc init() {
finitialize(v_init)
// insert new initialization code here to change states
// If states have been changed then complete
// initialization with
/*
if (cvode.active()) {
cvode.re_init()
}else{
fcurrent()
}
frecord_init()
*/
}
:hocfinitialize
, :hocCVode.re_init
, :hocfcurrent
, :hocfrecord_init
, :hocFInitializeHandler
Stops the simulation at the end of a step.
Continues integrating until t >= value displayed in value editor. Plots occur each step.
Continues integrating for amount of time displayed in value editor. Plots occur each step.
Integrates one step and plots. A step is 1/(Plots/ms) milliseconds and consists of 1/dt/(Plots/ms) calls to fadvance()
Stop time for InitRun
Number of integration steps per millisecond at which plots occur. Notice that reducing dt does not by itself increase the number of points plotted. If the the step is not an integral multiple of dt then dt is rounded down to the nearest integral multiple.
When checked, turns off movies and graph flushing during an hoc_runcontrol_initrun
. Under some circumstances this can speed things up very considerably such as when using the hoc_RunFitter
in the presence of a Shape Movie plot under MSWINDOWS.
Running display of computation time. Resolution is 1 second.
