Usage

Instructions for using the Quality Monitor plugin are available here.

Building from source

First, follow the instructions on the Open Ephys GUI developer docs to build the Open Ephys GUI.

This plugin is intended to live alongside the plugin-GUI repository:

Code/
├── plugin-GUI
│   ├── Build
│   ├── Plugins
│   └── ...
└── OEPlugins
    └── quality-monitor
        ├── Build
        ├── Source
        └── ...

Quality Monitor uses FFTW3. CMake is configured to look for platform-specific headers and libraries under libs/ during configuration.

Windows

Requirements: Visual Studio 2022 (or higher) and CMake >=3.15

From the Build directory, run:

cmake -G "Visual Studio 17 2022" -A x64 ..
cmake --build . --config Release
cmake --install . --config Release

This builds the plugin DLL and copies it into the Open Ephys GUI plugins directory. You can also open the generated Visual Studio solution from Build/ and build the INSTALL target there.

Linux

Requirements: CMake >=3.15

From the Build directory, run:

cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
cmake --build . -j4
cmake --install .

This builds the plugin .so and installs it into the compiled GUI's plugins directory.

macOS

Requirements: Xcode and CMake

From the Build directory, run:

cmake -G "Xcode" ..
cmake --build . --config Release
cmake --install . --config Release

This builds the plugin bundle and installs it to ~/Library/Application Support/open-ephys/plugins-api10.
