-
New Spike sorter tool: Automatic sorting of detected spikes.
-
Run Spike sorter clients on other machines on the network to reduce processing time.
-
STA Explorer: Select input for averaging: Spikes or sorted units.
-
New file formats and extensions. All output files are saved in a hirarchical data format (HDF5) which is supported by many commercial and non-commercial software platforms, including Matlab and Python.
-
Results (*.cmtr) saved in HDF5 file format.
-
Templates (*.cmtt) saved in HDF5 file format.
-
Export (*.cmte) saved in HDF5 file format.
Important:
New file formates were introduced to increase the file transfer rates, and provide a easier way to access the data by other applications. The speed up is mandatory to save spikes along with the raw data, and in offline mode it reduces the time needed to process the data dramatically. Therefore, the CMOS-MEA-Tools version 2 can only open HDF5 file created by CMOS-MEA-Control version 2. Files recorded by older CMOS-MEA-Control versions can be converted to the new file formate using our Multi Channel DataManager.
Also the format for template files has changed, so that it is not compartible with previous template files. Therefore, old template files has to be replaces by new ones.
