Return Rate
(°C/sec)
Defines the temperature rate of increase or decrease per
second, from the destination temperature, down to the
baseline.
Type an acceptable value: ...................................................
0.1 to 2°C/Sec for Q-sense thermode Increasing temperature or
0.1 to 1°C/Sec for Q-sense thermode Decreasing temperature
Max. Time at
Destination (sec)
Defines the maximum duration in seconds, between the time
that the temperature reached the destination and the time it
returned to the baseline. In case a YES response was detected,
the maximum time will not complete, and the temperature will
return to the baseline and continue to the next trial.
Acceptable value: 0 to 600, and according to safety
temperature – time limitations.
Min. Interval (sec) /
Max. Interval (sec)
Variable time between trials. Actual time is set randomly in
between the min. and max. values.
First Choice Step
(°C)
The initial step size that is used until the first YES response is
detected.
Acceptable value: 0.2 – 5 °C
Final Choice Step
(°C)
The fixed step size that is used in the final Turns Around
Threshold.
Acceptable value: 0.1 – 2 °C
Turns Around
Threshold
The number of turns (YES to NO or NO to YES) at the Final
Choice Step which is required to complete the test.
Number of Tests
The number of tests in a sequence – between 1 to 5.
Standard Events
Enables the system to alert you when stimulation procedure
arrives at specific standard events.
Dummy Option
Enables dummy stimulus to increase test reliability.
Dummy frequency is randomized, and it has average of 10%.
Randomize
Randomizes number of tests in order to increase sequence
reliability.
Display Message
Determine when message to test subject is displayed on
screen.
Available options:
Destination – Display message upon reaching trail destination
temperature
Return to Baseline – Display message upon trail return to
baseline temperature
No Response on
Destination
Define program behavior if subject responds after the
Maximum Time at Destination is over.
Relevant only if Maximum Time at Destination is larger than
0 and Display Message is set to Destination.
Always Accept – Accept subject’s response and continue the
test
..... Always Repeat – Ignore subject’s response and repeat the
same trial again
Manually Select – Manually select whether the response
should be accepted (press ‘A’) or ignored (press ‘I’).
