• Type - In the Type area, select a marker type for the new marker. For a
description of all marker types, see “Table 5-1” on page 5-278. Under most
circumstances, a new Frame marker cannot be created.
• Name - Enter a unique name for the new marker. Marker names must be
unique.
• Comment - This is an optional box in which to insert a free-form comment
that describes the new marker.
• Associated Keystroke - This area identifies the keystroke that is associated
with this marker, which can be used for finding or inserting new marker
occurrences. CinePlex Editor automatically suggests an unused key; click
Change to open the Assign Key dialog box and select a different key. When
the dialog box appears, press the key to associate and click OK.
Note:
Only single-keystrokes (not CTRL- or ALT- key combinations) can be associated
with Markers.
• Display - This area identifies the display color and the show setting for the
marker.
— Color – This box shows the display color this marker in various windows.
The color can also be set directly in the Marker window.
— Show – This item toggles the appearance of the Marker in various windows.
This item can also be set directly in the Marker window.
• Event IDs - This area shows the Event IDs associated with the marker. Use
these IDs only when exporting this marker to a PLX file. These event IDs are
the Plexon external event IDs that represent this marker in the PLX file. For
interval-type markers, a second event ID must be specified to represent the
end time for the interval.
Note:
These IDs must be unique across all markers. CinePlex Editor suggests an
unused and unique value for these IDs, so they do not usually require immediate
attention when first creating the marker. If exporting the data to a PLX file,
there will be an opportunity to change these event IDs.
Clicking Generate Occurrences causes CinePlex Editor to create the marker
and also automatically populate the new marker with algorithmically-generated
marker occurrences. The available methods for automatically populating the
marker with marker occurrences varies by marker type; for a description, see
“Automatically Generating Marker Occurrences” on page 183.
• OK - Click OK to close the dialog box and create the new marker.
