DAC settings should be a Network property #117

Open aneckar opened 6 years ago

aneckar commented 6 years ago

This is the "right" way to set DAC values when you're not doing something weird (e.g. changing the DAC on the fly like an input variable)

samfok commented 5 years ago

Currently in practice, HAL's map resets DAC values to default. HAL's remap_weights also resets DAC values because it calls map

samfok commented 5 years ago

Another effect of every hardware setting being reset upon a call to map or remap_weights is that somas disabled on the fly are re-enabled. I think we should broaden this issue to attach all mutable hardware settings to be a Network property.

aneckar commented 5 years ago

soma kill should be a Pool property, probably, but yeah.

AFAIK, the only settings not captured by map() are DACs, soma kills, and FPGA time resolutions. The other neuron/synapse settings (synapse kill, gain/bias twiddles, diffusor cuts) are all captured by Pool. All the digital stuff is captured by overall Network structure.

also note that many of the Calibrator functions take an optional dacs argument
