Looks like you are getting a response to the csa ticket :)

Additionally, if this doesn't happen, we could make the csa package optional as well

I *think* this was requested by Basab for a specific use case.

Note also that delay scale factors might not even need to be integers. If not, the countdown mechanism would be that the number starts at the scale factor and then...

@pabogdan has done something similar here: https://github.com/pabogdan/pynn_object_serialisation/blob/master/pynn_object_serialisation/functions.py The final version of this might want to include some of each e.g. run like this one, but writing json files with content...

In general, having a bigger network on SpiNNaker as you describe will not be a problem. It may be worth trying out this form on the platform to check that...

It was on the NRP, although we since have a "workaround" (probably the better solution really if we want it to be faster) of sending spikes through the connection and...

I suspect drop_late_spikes as a Population parameter is non-critical; it is only really used at the simulation-level as far as I know.

To answer the questions: 1. I think the timescale factor should be the last value set in all these cases, and if not set initially, do what we do now...

If it is easier to loop over vertices that should be fine to do. I think it is necessary to check that the vertex supports the right interface for this...
