Support for syncing data from multiple Neuropixels as well as an NIDQ device when using SpikeGLX for acquisition

[manimoh]

Hi! I was wondering if there was a functionality on syncing all the data-streams from 1 or more NPX probes as well as the analog digital channels on the NIDQ device, when using SpikeGLX for acquisition. While SpikeGLX provides command-line functionality to sync individual timestamps (spike timing, event onset etc) across various devices using their 'TPrime' command, there is no way to synchronize the the continuous data-streams acquired on different devices (for example LFP channels from 2 different Neurpixels probes, and an analog channel on the NIDQ device which actually recordings the running speed of the animals).

I see that there is some work in progress here, but was wondering if that function will satisfy the requirements I am asking about, or are there alternate ways to achieve it!

Hi Manish. This is on my todo list since almost 1.5 years! I swear I will do it for christmas but I prefer to not tell which year :)

I have private code somewhere that is doing this I need to propagate to that place this should be quite easy. Leave this issue open and feel free to write "ping" in the discussion every 2 weeks.

I actually would appreciate this functionality for my own use -- happy to help debug/test it :)

Sorry for being annoying, but "ping"

Hi @manimoh. Thank you the recurent ping. I am quite busy witha big refactporing the month. Do not stop the ping! After this big work I will try to implement your need in spikeinterface. Sorry for the very long delay. Have a nice day.

@samuelgarcia still interested in this? we need it for conversion of our neuropixels data.
