Questions for pyABF #9

Closed aanranran closed 5 years ago

aanranran commented 5 years ago

I try to read the abf document with pyABF package in python. And I found a code in pyABF named

abf.setSweep(n)

For example if abf.setSweep(3), sweeps starting at 0, what does number 3 mean? How should we define the correct number of n?

I have similar doubt too. Can someone please explain more details about .abf file and what does channels, sweeps and total length mean? For given file, we have "ABF file (16o03002.abf) with 2 channels, 6 sweeps, and a total length of 0.10 min." I am confused what does each attribute mean and its significance. Also, please share experiences if anyone has worked with this file format before. However, I found this link - http://mdc.custhelp.com/euf/assets/software/FSP_ABFHelp_2.03.pdf. It explains some interesting information about .abf file format.

Thanks in advance!
