project, CinePlex Editor saves all the marker information in the CPJ file. The
user may also export the marker data to:
• a PLX file: The markers become Type 4 Events in the PLX file, along with
the spike and continuous data from the original neural data file.
• a NEX file: The markers become Nex variables, along with the spike times
and continuous data from the original neural data file.
• a text file: Each marker occurrence becomes a line in the text file.
• a MATLAB file: Each marker occurrence becomes a row in a 2D matrix.
• an Excel spreadsheet: Each marker occurrence becomes a row in the spreadsheet.
Note:
Matlab or Excel must be installed on the computer to export these file types.
Otherwise, all Matlab or Excel functions, or both, appear dimmed.
To save the project and export the data, follow the procedure below.
1 To save the quick-start example work, click Save. The Save As dialog box
opens with the file name CM_Quickstart-01. Click Save to save
CM_Quickstart-01.
Note:
If the user reloads the same CPJ file just saved, it puts CinePlex Editor
back into the same state it was in prior to the save operation.
CinePlex Editor reloads with the same markers, marker occurrences,
current marker selection, etc.
