File Format

[tchemaly]

My .bin file is a 2D array with dimensions of Nx61. The first column corresponds to the timestamps and the 60 remaining columns correspond to my 60 recording channels. Also, the recorded values are int32. My 3 questions are:

1. What should be the format of the file in Kilosort? Meaning, how should I reshape the array to obtain correct sorting?
2. Does my file have to be int16 or does int32 work as well?
3. What should the units of time and potential be?

Following is a sample of the first 3 columns of my file (First column contains the timestamps in microseconds, second and third columns contain the potential recorded on my first 2 channels in 10^-9 Volts)

0 -1966965 59605 100 536445 2861040 200 6258525 -1430520 300 -2741830 -4529980 400 -1966965 2682225 500 1192100 2324595 600 -2980250 1847755 700 1192100 178815 800 -2861040 -1668940 900 -1251705 774865

I think if you look here it's the right format - under Data Files http://neuroscope.sourceforge.net/UserManual/data-files.html

Following is a sample of the file (First column contains the timestamps in microseconds, second column contains the potential recorded on one channel in 10^-9 Volts)
