Custom Step Profiles - NeuroTherm NT1100 Operator's Manual

Custom Step Profiles

The custom step profile facility gives the user the ability to create three lesion profiles.
Custom step profiles are only supported by single electrode or dual Electrode. The NT1100
defines a step profile using the following variables:
Start Temperature: The initial temperature in degrees centigrade that the profile should hold
Step Time:
Step Rise:
Final Temperature: The temperature in degrees centigrade that the profile should hold at after the

From the graph, the key profile variables are identified as:
