9.5.2 Session No
This option is not necessary but kept for backwards compatibility with previous models which directly
connected to a printer for outputting the results of an experiment. If desired, the parameter can be set over
the range of 0 to 99.
9.5.3 NOACHs
Number of Active Channels: This should equal the number of subjects to be run in the experiment session.
Typically, this will be up to four channels, or eight if yoked. The range is 1 to 8.
9.5.4 Yoked Stim.
This is used to yoke the stimulus presentation of an odd numbered channel to the next even. Channel 2 is
yoked to channel 1, channel 4 is yoked to channel 3, etc. In a study, individual test and control subjects may be
paired together. Using yoked lane dividers and walls, the control subjects are quarantined to sit on the grids of
the even channels and will not run. Then their paired test subject is allowed to run normally, unrestricted on
the odd channels. When the test subject receives stimulus, the quarantined control subject will also receive
the same stimulus. The choice is No or Yes.
9.5.5 Max_NOV
Maximum Number of Visits: For humane reasons, the presentation of the stimulus can be stopped when a set
number of visits to the grids have been met. The range is from 0 to 999. When set to zero, the presentation
will not stop, and the total number of visits will be recorded.
9.5.6 Max_NOS
Maximum Number of Stimuli: For humane reasons, the presentation of the stimulus can be stopped when the
subject has received a set number of stimuli. The range is from 0 to 999. When set to zero, the presentation
will not stop, and the total number of stimuli received will be recorded.
9.5.7 Max_NOC
Maximum Number of Complete Exhaustions: The presentation of stimulus can be stopped when any visit to
the detection grids is greater than or equal to the specified period in seconds. The period can range from 1 to
180 seconds, five is typical. As the subject can reach complete exhaustion only once, the range is either 0 or 1.
When set to 0, the presentation of the stimulus will not stop and the count of visits greater than or equal to
the set period will be recorded.
9.5.8 Max_NOM
Maximum Number of Measured Exhaustions: The presentation of stimulus can be stopped when the set
number of visits to the detection grids with a duration greater than or equal to the specified period in seconds
has been met. The period can range from 1 to 180 seconds, two is typical. The number range is from 0 to 99,
three is typical. When set to 0, the presentation of stimulus will not stop and the count of visits greater than or
equal to the set period will be recorded.
9.5.9 TS_Percent
Time-Score Percent: The presentation of stimulus can be stopped when exhaustion has been detected by
measuring the percentage of time the subject receives stimulus over a specified rolling period in seconds. The
