Tool to read/write Plexon acquired data

[Ranganath, Ajit]

Dear all,

Does anybody use Klusta to sort data acquired in a Plexon system? If yes, could you please post/share which software tool you use to convert the .plx/.pl2 file into a flat binary file that is necessary for Klusta?

Thanks!!

¡Hola!

I know that OFS can read and write to matlab in file>export (here's a troubleshooting guideline if it doesn't work: http://www.plexon.com/sites/default/files/MATLAB%20Export%20Troubleshooting%20Guide.pdf).  After exporting to matlab, I create the .dat file using these three lines of code:

a = fopen('name_desired_for_your_dat_file.dat', 'w')

fwrite(a, variable_that_contains_all_samples_in_columns_and_all_channels_in_rows, 'int16')

fclose(a)

I'm a rookie coder.  Sorry for my variables.  I hope that this is enough to point you in the right direction.  Let me know if you didn't understand something.

Thanks for your response Kelvin!

Thanks Kelvin,

How do you export the continuous recordings from Plexon to Matlab? I only see an option to export 'waveforms'. Also, for large regordings would Matlab have trouble opening up all of the data at once?

Thanks,
Rick

Continuous data from Plexon can be exported to MATLAB using Plexon's MATLAB SDK which has functions like 'PL2Ad' and 'plx_ad' which allows you to export the continuous data depending on the file format you used for the recording. Have a look at the toolbox:
