Improvements & Bug Fixes
-
File Reader: Enhanced error handling with validation for file existence, channel count mismatches, and file size consistency. Displays user-friendly error messages for invalid or missing files
-
Record Node: Added comprehensive file validation before recording starts. Automatically stops recording with clear error messages if files fail to open due to disk space or permission issues
-
Parameter System: Fixed crash when loading configurations with mismatched channel counts (e.g., when Acquisition Board channel count changes between runs). Out-of-range channel selections in downstream plugins are now filtered out, and newly available channels are automatically included.
-
