Detailed Description

Calculates the extracellular concentration of a substance diffusing in an environment consisting of 3 adjacent homogeneous, isotropic layers.

Usage:

3layer [options] <input_file>

where <input_file> is the name of the input parameter file. The output file will have the same basename as the input file but will have the extension '.dat'. The input file should not have the extension '.dat'.

To get a list of options, run 3layer with no input filename.

The input parameter file consists of:

• Comment lines beginning with '#'
• Lines assigning parameter values that look like "parameter = value [<trailing text>]"
  • For example, duration = 50 s (source duration)
  • The program will assign the value 50 to the parameter 'duration'

Notes:

• Units are always m^2/s for dfree, nA for current, s for duration, and microns for distance – no matter what appears in the optional trailing text
• Parameter values specified on the command line override parameter values specified in the input file
• Based on the IDL program layer.pro by Jan Hrabe, CABI, NKI
