Sweep Count

The number of sweeps are counted and displayed for each of the triggers at the bottom
of the main window.

Please note that not the number of stimuli but the number of sweeps is counted, whereby one
sweep is defined as one complete run of the programmed stimulation pattern, as displayed in the
main window. So, if five stimuli are programmed, and the repeat rate in the Trigger Setting menu
is set to six, 30 stimuli will be delivered but the sweep count will be six.

Sweeps are not counted online, the final number is displayed after the STG has been stopped.
The number of sweeps per channel is not put to zero automatically every time the stimulation
is started. Instead, a reset only happens if a trigger is again used in the new stimulation.
So, if a stimulation file uses trigger one and two with a repeat of three each, the display will
show 1:3 2:3 3:0 4:0 at the end of the stimulation. If afterwards, for example a stimulation
file is started which uses only trigger in continuous mode, and this file is stopped after
15 repeats of the programmed stimulation pattern, the display will show 1:3 2:3 3:0 4:15.
