Utilities included

  • thresholdDetect.py is used to detect changes in ADC or other channels, indicating the onset time of stimuli or other events; typically used to detect button presses in the ADC channels.
Usage: thresholdDetect.py [options] dataset.ds
  • parsemarks is a python script that prints marker information from the MarkerFile.mrk in your .ds dataset directory, and can perform various processing on the marks. Running parsemarks with no arguments produces a detailed usage message.
