In order to obtain identical results for different computation step sizes h, the SLI script needs to be independent of h. This is achieved by specifying all time parameters in milliseconds (ms). In particular the time of spike emission and the synaptic delay need to be integer multiples of the computation step sizes to be tested. test_iaf_dc_aligned_delay demonstrates the strategy for the case of DC current input. A DC current in the pre-synaptic neuron is adjusted to cause a spike at a grid position (t=3.0 ms) joined by all computation step sizes to be tested. Note that in a neuron model where synaptic events are modeled by a truncated exponential the effect of the incoming spike would be visible at the time of impact (here, t=5.0 ms). This is because the initial condition for the post-synaptic potential (PSP) has a non-zero voltage component. For PSPs with finite rise time the situation is different. In this case the voltage component of the initial condition is zero (see documentation of test_iaf_psp). Therefore, at the time of impact the PSP is only visible in other components of the state vector. The expected output is documented and briefly commented at the end of the script. The simulation is run with several values of min_delay, which all should yield identical results.
