ephys2plx

Here are some Matlab .m files and a Matlab mex function (c language) used to convert Open Ephys data files to the Plexon .plx file, which can be opened by Plexon Offline-Sorter.

Compile mex file

The two mex files ("ephys2plx_mex.mexmaci64" and "ephys2plx_mex.mexw64") are compiled with Matlab 2014a, if your Matlab version is older than 2014a, you may need to compile ephys2plx_mex.c

To compile the ephys2plx_mex.c file:

1. start Matlab
2. if you haven't selected a C compiler, you could execute mex -setup in matlab Command Window to select one. (if you haven't installed a C compiler on your computer, probably Windows system, you could find a supported and compatible compilers for the Matlab version you are using from MathWorks. Here is a list of compatible compilers for Matlab 2014a Supported and Compatible Compilers – Release 2014a)
3. execute mex ephys2plx_mex.c in matlab Command Window

Choose continuous data files to be converted

Line 1 in the ephys2plx.m file sets continuous data from which processor will be converted into .plx file. For example, the raw data from FPGA will be

ConProcessor = 'Sources/Rhythm FPGA'
