Optional Parameters

spike_rate

Default

25

Average rate of spike generation (spikes per second). The actual times between individual spikes are drawn from an exponential distribution with lambda equal to the specified spike rate.

autostart

If YES, the device will start I/O automatically (as if by an implicit Start IO Device action) when the experiment starts running.

Note: Device I/O will always stop automatically when the experiment stops running, irrespective of this setting.
