RT_ONOFF result type measures
 | ANY-maze has been designed to be extended, and we'll be delighted to add any new measures you might find useful, for free! Just contact ANY-maze Support. |
ANY-maze will score the following measures for a plug-in which has a result type of RT_ONOFF:
Each of the above measures (except for Average activation duration) is available for the apparatus as whole (i.e. irrespective of where the animal was when the activation occurred) and also for each defined zone.
RT_ONOFF: Number of activations
| Description | Reports the number of times the plug-in was activated (returned a result value of 'On'). |
| Calculation method | Counts the number of activations. |
| Analysis in zones | Counts the number of activations that occurred when the animal was in the zone. |
| Analysis across time | This measure can be analysed across time. For any time period, the result is the number of activations during the time period. |
RT_ONOFF: Time active
| Description | Reports the total amount of time the plug-in was active. |
| Calculation method | Sums the amount of time for which the plug-in was active. |
| Analysis in zones | Sums the amount of time for which the plug-in was active when the animal was in the zone. |
For a particular zone, it's possible for the Time active to be non-zero while the Number of activations is zero. This can occur if the animal enters the zone when the plug-in is active. In this case the time the plug-in is active will be registered, but the activation itself won't be.
| Analysis across time | This measure can be analysed across time. For any time period, the result is the amount of time that the plug-in was active during the period. |
For a particular time period, it's possible for the Time active during the period to be non-zero while the Number of activations for the period is zero. This can occur if the plug-in is already active at the start of the period. In this case, the time the plug-in is active will be registered, but the activation itself won't be.
RT_ONOFF: Latency to first activation
| Description | Reports the amount of time that elapsed in the test before the plug-in was active for the first time, i.e. returned a result of 'On'. |
| Calculation method | The value of the test clock at the first activation. |
| Analysis in zones | The value of the test clock at the first activation that occurred within the zone. |
| Analysis across time | This measure cannot be analysed across time. |
RT_ONOFF: Latency to first deactivation
| Description | Reports the amount of time that elapsed in the test before the plug-in was deactivated for the first time, i.e. returned a result of 'Off'. |
| Calculation method | The value of the test clock at the first deactivation. |
| Analysis in zones | The value of the test clock at the first deactivation that occurred within the zone. |
| Analysis across time | This measure cannot be analysed across time. |
RT_ONOFF: Longest activation
| Description | Reports the duration of the longest period for which the plug-in was continuously active. |
| Calculation method | The duration of each activation is calculated, and the largest value is found. |
| Analysis in zones | The longest period for which the plug-in was continuously active in the zone. |
| Analysis across time | This measure can be analysed across time. For any time period, the result is the longest period for which the plug-in was continuously active during the period. |
RT_ONOFF: Shortest activation
| Description | Reports the duration of the shortest period for which the plug-in was continuously active. |
| Calculation method | The duration of each activation is calculated, and the smallest value is found. |
| Analysis in zones | The shortest period for which the plug-in was continuously active in the zone. |
| Analysis across time | This measure can be analysed across time. For any time period, the result is the shortest period for which the plug-in was continuously active during the period. |
RT_ONOFF: Average activation duration
| Description | Reports the average duration for which the plug-in was active. |
| Analysis in zones | This measure cannot be analysed in zones. |
| Analysis across time | This measure cannot be analysed across time. |
RT_ONOFF: Activation frequency
| Description | Reports the frequency with which the plug-in was activated. |
| Analysis in zones | Calculated by dividing the Number of activations in the zone by the Total time in the zone. |
| Analysis across time | This measure can be analysed across time. For any time period, the result is the Number of activations which occurred during the period divided by the period's duration. |
