Apart from within the GUI by clicking, I do not find documentation on how to edit configuration files for different recording sites selections. The closest thing I could find, I guess, is that in the config file:

The CHANNELSTATUS section is where the recording sites are configured. It uses 0-based indexing, so E0 - E959 correspond to electrodes 1-960, where 1 is at the tip. A value of "1" means the electrode is selected, a value of "0" means it's deselected, and a value of "-2" is for reference channels.

So, that is how you would go about editing the configuration currently. However, we are planning to make it possible to upload SpikeGLX .imro files in the near future, so stay tuned for that.
