Output file confusion #220

Open ckfaber opened 1 year ago

ckfaber commented 1 year ago

Hello!

I'm just starting to incorporate Get_spikes and Do_clustering into my spike sorting workflow, but I'm confused about what some of the output files are, and how I should work with them/store them.

Can you please explain what the purpose of the .dg_01 and LAB files are? Additionally, where in the Do_clustering.m code can I suppress the saving of .png files?

Thank you! Chelsea

Hi Chelsea,

The .dg_01 and LAB files are the files created for the SPC clustering. You want to keep them if you want to edit the clustering using the GUI to select other clusters, change the temperature, etc. Some people don't save them, I usually save them just in case.

Running Do_clustering(YOUR ARGUMENTS,'make_plots',False) will suppress the figure step.
