The following selections are available:
Response Curve Scripts Editor
Response Script
Several scripts are included with CIRAS-3 by default. You can use them as
templates to edit on the console, or export them for external editing and
renaming.
Level
These fields are the starting and ending points of your response curve,
representing the total number of steps. If your response curve has 15 steps
enter 1 of 15 in the fields. Each entry from this point forward will apply
uniformly to the entire response curve, through all Levels. By doing this you
create the basic structure of the curve, before you enter the specific changes
you want to introduce (independent variable) at each successive Level.
Records per Level
Decide how many data points you want to record at each Level. Entering
more than 1 will allow for averaging and other summary statistics, but will
extend the total time of the response curve.
Acclimation
Enter the time in seconds that the leaf must acclimate to the conditions you
create in the leaf chamber. This is not as easy as it may seem as it is
dependent on the initial physiological state of the plant, the response curve
parameter being changed, and the magnitude of that change. Determining
suitable acclimation times often requires one or more test runs of the
response curve.
Record Interval
Enter the time in seconds between recorded data points, assuming
