"""
Tests a multisite synapse from the SGC to a target cell.
The values returned from an actual set of runs of the synapse are compared
to the expected values in the synapses.py table. This is needed because
the maximal open probability of the receptor models is not 1, so the maximal
conductance per receptor needs to be adjusted empirically. If the measured current
does not match the expected current, then we print a message with the expected value,
and fail with an assert statment in the test.
The measurement itself is made in measure_gmax().
Parameters
----------
cell_class : an instance of the cell class
seed : int
random number seed for the call
plot : boolean (default False)
plot request, passed to measure_gmax
tstop : float (default 5.0 ms)
duration of run for measurement of gmax. Needs to be long enough to find the
maximum of the EPSC/IPSC.
n_syn : int (default 20)
number of synapses to instantiate for testing (to get an average value)
