ImportPRecording: Import electrophysiology recordings

In moritzlindner/PatchMasteR: An environment for working with ephys (PatchClamp) recordings

Import electrophysiology recordings

Description

This function imports electrophysiology recordings from PatchMaster *.dat files ("Series") or Axon's ABF files and creates a PRecording object. Support for WinWCP files is thought in future.

Usage

ImportPRecording(
  filename,
  experiment = 1,
  series = 1,
  traces = c(1, 2),
  encoding = getOption("encoding"),
  filetype = NULL,
  verbose = FALSE
)

Arguments

filename	Path to file. Currently only Patch Master .dat and Axon Binary (.abf) files are supported.
experiment	Index of the experiment to import. Only required if filename is a PatchMaster file. The experiment is the 1st order hierarchy in PatchMaster file tree. Default is 1.
series	Index of the series to import Only required if filename is a PatchMaster file. The series is the 2nd order hierarchy in PatchMaster file tree. Default is 1.
traces	Index or indices of Traces/channels to import. The trace is the 3rd order hierarchy in PatchMaster file tree. Must be vector of numeric of length > 0. Default is c(1,2).
encoding	File encoding to use, default is getOption("encoding")
filetype	The type of the file to be imported. Accepted values are 'PatchMaster' or 'ABF' If left blank (default), it will be guessed from the file extension.
verbose	Whether to display verbose messages during the import process. Default is FALSE.

Value

A PRecording object
