When I use the Connection Monitor and I use the function calcWeightChanges() before I start a simulation I get that there are no connections "nan" but the connections are there.
Should the function return a zero also before any actual simulation if there is a connection?
If I simulate the network then it works correctly. Maybe there is an initialization problem.

Hi Francesco,

Thanks for the report. This sounds like a bug in the initialization process of ConnectionMonitor. Before the simulation starts, weight changes should be reported as zero. We will fix that in our next release.
Glad to hear though that ConnectionMonitor works as expected once you start a simulation.

Best,
Michael
