Could the Record Control processor have a buffer option? #626

User was asking to have the option to append some seconds of buffered data to file when starting recordings via TTL with the Record Control processor.

This would require a pretty big overhaul of the recording architecture, so probably won't happen. Is there a reason they can't just record continuously and extract the relevant segments offline?

Hello, I just installed the version of Open Ephys in a new machine in the lab running Neuropixels. I couldn't find the "Record Control" Plugin in the Installer. Has this option been removed, or am I doing something wrong? See picture below of plugin installer options sorted alphabetically. Thank you!

Hi @gomezramirezm,

The Record Control plugin comes pre-installed with the GUI. It is available under "Utilities" in the Processor List.
