The timed sampling mode of Spike2 saves data in intervals. In this configuration, the first 10 seconds of data for every 15 seconds is saved to disk. The triggered display function is used to display each 10 seconds of saved data as a frame by searching for the onset marker and updating the display each time it is detected. Both timed sampling mode and trigger display can be used individually; the onset and offset markers of the saved data are useful to search and transform the data.

The triggered sampling mode of Spike2 captures data around a trigger or event. In this configuration, we have created 3 waveform channels. Channel 1 saves the full waveform to disk, and the data captured for the other channels is triggered on either the ‘a’ key for channel 2, or ‘b’ key for channel 3 being pressed. Channel 2 will save 6 seconds of data from 2 seconds before the point of trigger, while channel 3 will save 6 seconds of data from the point of trigger. The triggers themselves can also come from other event input sources.
