Intensity Slope allows you to increase the interval of the Intensity of the stim. If I want a Marker to fire a stim of 10, then after waiting a few seconds fire off a stim of 15, you would make the Intensity of this source 10, then give it an Intensity Slope of 5.

Thanks. I just did a controlled experiment based on that information, and it appears that the "intensity slope" is the dy value of a slope and the dx value is something that may be related to time, or may not. Specifying a non-zero intensity slope did get the intensity to increase. The results are not clear when you change the firings from 1000 to 2000. Doing so affects the increase, but not as I would have expected. The rate of increase does not appear to be tied to the periodicity of firing the stim, as I would have expected. More testing would be required to figure out just what is going on.
Given that I have done something different that meets my need, if not my original concept, and moved on from this, I don't feel like investing the time right now to figure out just what that parameter does exactly. I encourage anyone else who is interested to do so and look forward to their analysis.
