Rhd2164Data

source Operator

Produces a sequence of electrophysiology data frames from an Intan Rhd2164 bioacquisition chip.

This data IO operator must be linked to an appropriate configuration, such as a ConfigureRhd2164, using a shared DeviceName.

Rhd2164Data Workflow

Inputs & Outputs

Generates a sequence of Rhd2164DataFrame objects, each of which are a buffered set of multichannel samples an Rhd2164 device.

Properties

Property Type Description
BufferSize int

Gets or sets the number of samples collected for each channel that are used to create a single Rhd2164DataFrame.

This property determines the number of samples that are buffered for each electrophysiology and auxiliary channel produced by the Rhd2164 chip before data is propagated. For instance, if this value is set to 30, then 30 samples, along with corresponding clock values, will be collected from each of the electrophysiology and auxiliary channels and packed into each Rhd2164DataFrame. Because channels are sampled at 30 kHz, this is equivalent to 1 millisecond of data from each channel.

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.
