To start the stimulation patterns in the list mode, please use the “Trigger Start” in “Stimulus 1”
tab of this dialog. The trigger start in Stimulus 2 and Stimulus 3 tab will not be available, but all
three triggers run simultaneously.
The stimulation patterns from the list will be applied one after the other and change every
time the start condition defined for Stimulus 1 occurs and all three stimulator units are idle,
as described above. When the end of the list is reached, the software jumps back to the first
pattern and continues. When the “Restart” button is pressed, the software jumps to the first
entry in the list, respectively.
