1 Follow the start sequence. Go to LED or Markers mode. Press the PLX button
next to up to three colors.
2 In Sort Client, ensure that the Strobed Data box is checked on the Settings/
Events tab. Press the Activity tab icon so that tab appears.
3 Scroll down to the bottom of the Activity tab window and verify that strobed
data hash marks are being displayed.
4 Earlier version of Sort Client may not always display strobed data even
though it is being received and written to the PLX data file successfully. Use
the section below to verify strobed data in earlier versions of Sort Client.
5 Contact Plexon support if problem is not resolved.
No Strobed Data Showing in Earlier Versions of Sort Client - Use
VTViewer
Sometimes, strobed data may not appear on the Activity tab after recording
has been started. This is due to a display fault in earlier versions of Sort Client.
The simple VTViewer client may be used to verify the generation of
strobed data in this case.
1 Use the VTViewer icon or open the file below (on the MAP/CPX computer) to
bring up the VTViewer program
C:\Program Files\Plexon Inc\CinePlex\Common Files\VTViewer.exe
2 Drop down the File menu and select the Connect option.
3 If the connection to Sort Client has been successful, colored spots
representing current reported positions of the tracked objects will appear on
the VTViewer grid.
4 If no colored spots are shown, please contact Plexon support.
Live Video Being Corrupted or Neural Data Being Dropped
Sometimes the live data will be corrupted or neural data will be dropped.
1 Try reducing monitor count, monitor resolution, or both.
2 If cards have recently been added to the PC bus, remove them to see if the
problem is solved.
3 Contact Plexon Support for help in rearranging the order that existing cards
are plugged into the PC bus.
Dropped Frame Count Non-zero While Recording
When the MAP/CPX computer is heavily loaded causing available video buffering
to fill, video frames may be dropped. The count of dropped frames is
incremented each time this happens. This is not a normal condition and probably
indicates that the computer is being asked to perform more than MAP/
CPX processing.
