GridDemo.zip

This script demonstrates the use of script functions to create a grid view and add data to it or extract data from it.

Grid views store data as strings rather than numbers. This script uses a library of script functions (ghgridutils.s2s) to convert 1- and 2- dimensional arrays of numbers to columns and rows of strings and vice versa.

This script requires Spike2 v8.06 or higher. From versions 8.14 and 9.02 onwards, this script will be included in the scripts folder of the Spike2 application.

DrawPlayWave.zip

This is an example script that allows the drawing of an arbitrary waveform for output from the 1401 DAC's using the mouse pointer. The user specifies the output rate, waveform duration and associated key for the waveform before drawing the shape required in a result view window by holding down the Shift key together with the left mouse button and dragging the mouse. The waveform can then be added to the play wave area of the sampling configuration by clicking the 'Add' button in the script toolbar.

This script requires Spike2 v7.01 or higher.

CursorPulseAmp.zip

This script and associated sequence file is an example of updating a running sequence file during sampling with an interactive script.

The included sampling configuration can be used to visualize the pulse outputs by connecting DAC 0 to ADC 0 on the 1401. Load the CursorPulseAmp.pls sequence file from the sequencer tab of the sampling configuration and click OK before running the script. The script opens a new data file ready to sample and creates a tollbar to start and stop sampling. During sampling the horizontal cursor can be dragged up and down to control the amplitude of the pulse train output.

This script requires Spike2 v6.14 or higher.

SimOnSkel.zip

This script uses the PlayOffLine() script command to replay an existing data file and give the script access to the current replay position to simulate sampling.

To use this for testing purposes, simply add the function code that you plan to use on-line at the position indicated in the Idle%() function.

This script requires Spike2 v5.21 or higher.

Alarm.zip

This script is a simple example allowing the user to set an alarm time based on the system clock of the PC. This example emits a tone and displays a message box once the alarm time is reached, but could easily be modified to perform other functions in response to the alarm setting, such as starting a file sampling early in the morning before you arrive at work!

This script requires Spike2 v5.21 or higher.

nesttool.zip

This is an example of a script using nested toolbars. It is designed for people who are already writing scripts and wish to be able to call one toolbar from another. It is a skeletal script with very little functionality, but serves as a good demonstration of the techniques involved.

This script has a main toolbar which can call another toolbar which, in turn, can call another one. Then, as you leave each toolbar, the script returns to the one which called it.

autodac.zip

An example of running a sequenceer from a Spike2 script, including the use of sequencer variables. It requires that the sequencer file autopump.pls is placed in the Spike2\sequence directory. To see the effect, you should set up a sampling configuration with two waveform channels and connect DAC outputs 0 and 1 to ADC inputs 0 and 1.

onskel.zip

This is an empty script that doesn't do anything much, but is a framework upon which you can build your own script for online analysis. It provides controls for the sampling via a toolbar plus a customisable idle function to carry out analysis.

skel2.zip

This is an empty script that doesn't do anything much, but is a framework upon which you can build your own script. It provides a loop that repeatedly opens a single data file for analysis until the user stops.

skeleton.zip

This is an empty script that doesn't do anything much, but is a framework upon which you can build your own script. It provides handling of a list of open data files including opening more files, plus selection of a file for analysis.
