Call: THRESHOLD_CROSSING


electrode

This is the number of the read-out group for which you wish to know the threshold crossings. Signals are summed over the elements that compose a read-out group - signals for the individual members are not stored.

Read-out groups are formed with the SELECT command. SELECT without arguments will show how the groups are composed.

[No default, this is a mandatory parameter.]


threshold

The threshold level, if the signal has not been processed, it is in micro Amp.

options

This argument is a character string composed of the following words, separated by blanks, comma's etc. Case is irrelevant.

Option Meaning
RISING Detect rising edges crossing the threshold
FALLING Detect falling edges crossing the threshold
LINEAR Use linear interpolation (default)
QUADRATIC Use quadratic interpolation
CUBIC Use cubic interpolation
PLOT Plot a graph detailing the fits and the results
NOPLOT Do not plot the results

Notes:

  1. Several synonyms of the above are accepted too.
  2. This procedure detects either rising or falling edges, but not both at the same time.

ntime

Contains, on successful completion, the total Number of threshold crossings found, including those which are not returned for lack of arguments supplied.

[This is a mandatory argument which must be modifiable.]


time

Each of these arguments contains on successful completion one of the threshold crossings that have been found. These arguments will be of type Number

If there are more return arguments than threshold crossings, then the excess arguments are set to Nill, which is of type Undefined.

If more threshold crossings are found than return arguments are provided, then the excess crossing are not returned.

The threshold crossings are returned in increasing order,

[One such argument is mandatory, all these arguments must be modifiable.]
