Need to support DAQdata.raw format #22

Description

Summary

The sync files for EIDs from the public IBL database use a different format than the previously tested EIDs from the private database.

The current interface (SpikeGLXNIDQInterface) is not compatible with the _DAQdata.raw. format, although the files appear structurally similar.

A new interface will need to be implemented to extract digital and analog channels from *_spikeglx_DAQdata.raw.bin (or .cbin) files and integrate this into the raw data conversion pipeline.

File Structure Comparison

files from private database (currently supported)

"raw_ephys_data/_spikeglx_ephysData_g0_t0.nidq.cbin",
"raw_ephys_data/_spikeglx_ephysData_g0_t0.nidq.meta",
"raw_ephys_data/_spikeglx_ephysData_g0_t0.nidq.ch",
"raw_ephys_data/_spikeglx_ephysData_g0_t0.nidq.wiring.json",

files from public database

'raw_sync_data/_spikeglx_DAQdata.raw.cbin',
'raw_sync_data/_spikeglx_DAQdata.raw.meta',
'raw_sync_data/_spikeglx_DAQdata.raw.ch',
'raw_sync_data/_spikeglx_DAQdata.wiring.json',

Key differences:

  • Differences in .meta file fields
