PortStatus

source Operator

Produces a sequence of port status information frames.

This data IO operator must be linked to an appropriate headstage or miniscope configuration (e.g. ConfigureNeuropixelsV2eBeta) using a shared DeviceName.

PortStatus Workflow

Inputs & Outputs

Generates a sequence of PortStatusFrame objects, which contains information about the the a headstage port communication status.

A PortStatusFrame will be produced only in exceptional circumstances. For instance, when the headstage becomes disconnected, a packet fails a CRC check, etc.

Properties

Property Type Description
DeviceName string

Gets or sets a unique device name.

The device name provides a unique, human-readable identifier that is used to link software elements for configuration, control, and data streaming to hardware. For instance, it can be used to link configuration operators to data IO operators within a workflow. This value is usually not set manually, but is assigned in a MultiDeviceFactory to correspond to a fixed address with a piece of hardware such as a headstage. This address is used for software communication.
