ac_generator – Produce an alternating current (AC) input¶
Description¶
This device produces an AC input sent by CurrentEvents. The current is given by
\[I(t) = offset + amplitude * \sin ( om * t + \phi )\]
where
\[\begin{split}om = 2 * \pi * frequency \\
\phi = phase / 180 * \pi\end{split}\]
Parameters¶
amplitude |
pA |
Amplitude of sine current |
offset |
pA |
Constant amplitude offset |
frequency |
Hz |
Frequency |
phase |
degree |
Phase of sine current (0-360 deg) |
Setting start and stop only windows the current as defined above. It does not shift the time axis. See stimulating_the_network for details.
