- Datasets which originate from Igor Pro waves have the special attributes IGORWaveScaling, IGORWaveType, IGORWaveUnits, IGORWaveNote. These attributes allow easy and convenient loading of the data into Igor Pro back.
- For AD/DA/TTL groups the naming scheme is data_
XXXXX_[AD/DA/TTL]suffixwhereXXXXXis a running number andsuffixthe channel number. For some hardware types thesuffixincludes the TTL line as well. It is important to note that the number of digits inXXXXXis variable und subject to change, and thatXXXXXis not the sweep number. - In NWB v1, the sweep number is accessible from the source attribute only.
Example source contents:
Device=ITC18USB_Dev_0;Sweep=0;AD=0;ElectrodeNumber=0;ElectrodeName=0 - For I=0 clamp mode neither the DA data nor the stimset is saved.
- Some entries in the following tree are specific to MIES, these are marked as custom entries. Users running MIES are encouraged to use the same NWB layout and extensions.
The current major version of the file format is 2. Version 1 is considered supported but deprecated.
