T plane = time for one plane<br />

P p = number of pulses per plane<br />

Equations (1) (b) and (2) can be combined in the following way:<br />

So in this case T spike + I spike =<br />

From observation of the preceding spike representation figure it can be seen that for<br />

maximum pulsing:<br />

T pulse = 5*T spike (where T pulse = (interval + T spike ) this gives a factor to be used with<br />

(3) to calculate T spike directly:<br />

Using (3) and (4) would give a spike time of 781.25 ns 5 = 156.25 ns. This<br />

minimum duration spike time, derived at maximum pulsing, will be a constant<br />
