PatchMaster Import Dialog

This page describes the contents of the PatchMaster data import dialog.

Parameters

File parameters. The parameters are:

Comment

A comment supplied by the user

Created

The date and time when the file was created

Group

A list of the groups in the file. For each group the following information is displayed:

Index

The index of the group within the file

Label

A group label set during recording

Comment

A group comment set during recording

Only one group can be selected at a time.

Series

A list of the series within the selected group. For each series the following information is displayed:

Index

The index of the series within the group

Label

A series label set during recording

Interval

The sampling interval at which successive data points were acquired

Comment

A series comment set during recording

Only one series can be selected at a time.

Sweeps

A list of the sweeps within the selected series. For each sweep the following information is displayed:

Index

The index of the sweep within the series

Start

The starting time of the sweep within the series

Channels

The number of channels acquired within the sweep

Samples

The maximum number of samples of data acquired within the sweep

Internal solution

The index of the internal solution

External solution

The index of the external solution

The duration of the sweep is the number of samples times the sampling interval within the series. For example, if the sampling interval for the series is 100 microseconds, and the number of samples is 2000, the sweep duration is 200ms.

Note however that not all channels need have the same sample count. This number represents the largest sample count of the channels.

Note that the channel data may be decimated in which case the number of samples stored for the channel will be less than the series sample count. In this case, the data will be resampled by interpolation by the import filter to have the same sample interval as originally recorded.

An arbitrary collection of sweeps can be selected.

Channels

A list of the acquired data channels within the file. For each channel the following information is displayed:

Label

A text label for the channel

Units

The units of the channel data

You can select an arbitrary collection of channels.

Stimulus Channels

A list of the stimulus channels used. For each stimulus channel the following information is displayed:

Label

A text label for the channel

Units

The units of the channel data

You can select an arbitrary collection of stimulus channels.

Data

A graph of the currently selected data.

Vertical lines delimit the data that will be imported. You can move the lines by dragging them with the mouse.

Include

Data

If this box is checked, the selected channel data will be imported

Raw data

If this box is checked, raw data for the selected channels will be imported. This is the data without leak subtraction.

Stimulus

If this box is checked, the selected stimulus waveforms will be imported.

Leak

If this box is checked, the leak data for the selected channels will be imported

Time

If this box is checked, a time column is included when the data is imported

Buttons

Import

Import the selected data into the analysis program

Section

Displays the PatchMaster section dialog.

Cancel

Cancel the import and close the dialog
