Parameters:
cell : Cell

The cell object.

amplitude : float

The amplitude of the step current.

delay : float

The delay of the step current.

duration : float

The duration of the step current.

dist : float

The distance from the soma to the recording/injection site.

Returns:

None. Adds a step current pipette to the cell under the name ‘iclamp’.
