1.4 Data Analysis
After recording, the user may process the PLX file with other software, available
from Plexon; for example, the user may spike sort the data with Offline Sorter
(OFS), or analyze it with NeuroExplorer (NEX). The user may save the results of
this processing to another PLX file or to a NEX file. For more information on
OFS and NEX, go to www.plexon.com.
If the user transfers the recorded AVI file from the internal CinePlex Studio hard
drive to an offline analysis computer, the file can be opened in CinePlex Editor
along with either the original PLX file or the files from OFS or NEX. CinePlex
Editor presents the time-correlated video, neural, and positional data, and enables
the user to add and edit annotations and perform other operations on the data,
such as artifact removal. CinePlex Editor records the actions the user performs on
the data to a CinePlex project file (CPJ), so that the user may do the annotation
and editing work over several sessions. When the user completes the markup process,
the results can be saved back into PLX or NEX files, or exported into text
files, MATLAB files, or Excel spreadsheets for further analysis.
1.5 Effects on Monitor Functionality
When Studio is running, the screen saver and power saver functions for the monitor
are diabled. This is because DirectX rendering is damaged and causes video
to go black. This is a result of using DirectX and cannot be coded around. Screen
saver and power saver settings are restored if Studio exits normally.
