vmax
SYNOPSIS
Manipulate temporal waveforms/construct parameter maps
SYNTAX
vmax -options infile
By default, output from vmax is piped to stdout.
DESCRIPTION
This program is used to extract parameters from temporal wavefronts described
in (.lst) fan output files from dart simulations.
- -a:TimeLo:TimeHi
- Calculate an area map between TimeLo and TimeHi.
By default, the area for the full time will be used.
- -d:TimeLo:TimeHi:thresh
- Calculate the action potential duration map between
TimeLo and Time Hi as the
total time over which the waveform exceeds thresh.
By default, thresh=-60 mV.
- -e:TimeLo:TimeHi:TimeInc
- Threshold data to create excitable gap maps. This option was designed
for use with the h-gate. Nodes at which h is below 0.1 are set to 0.
Nodes at which h is above 0.1 are set to 1. Nodes which are on the
boundary between 0 and 1 and the deriviative is negative are set to 2.
Output is written to files eg.Time.pot at increments of TimeInc.
TimeLo and Time Hi as the
- -i:thresh
- calculate the isochrones based on the temporal derivatives. Activation
times are determined from transmembrane potential waveforms as the maximum
temporal derivative. Threshold default is 0.0.
- -m:thresh
- extract maximum values.
-
- -p:TimeLo:TimeHi:TimeInc
- extract isovalues between timeLo and timeHi at increments of timeInc
and route the output to files Time.pot. Note the isopotential map at TimeHi
will route to stdout instead of to the file TimeHi.pot.
By default, TimeInc=1.0.
-
- -q:TimeLo:TimeHi:TimeInc
- extract the present isovalues. With the -p option, vmax attempts
to determine isovalues by interpolating based on the derivative. That
interpolation can cause errors when the derivative is changing rapidly.
This option acts like -p, except no interpolation is attempted.
- -r:TimeLo:TimeHi:TimeInc
- extract isoderivatives between
timeLo and timeHi at increments of timeInc
and route the output to files d.Time.pot. Note the isopotential map at TimeHi
will route to stdout instead of to the file d.TimeHi.pot.
By default, TimeInc=1.0.
- -t:nodeLo:NodeHi:nodeInc
- extract the wavefronts at the specified nodes between nodeLo and
nodeHi at increments of nodeInc.
- -v:TimeLo:TimeHi
- extract the maximum positive derivatives (V.max).
