dimensions in SiteSizeX and SiteSizeY, thereby allowing for electrode arrays with
different site sizes. For simplicity, specify all these values in microns. The ordinal
position defines the mapping between the electrode site and the adaptor pin
number. So, for example, the 4
th line in the MCS 8x8 standard electrode sites
definition: Site 45 = -50, 450, means that channel 4 of the adaptor is connected to
site 45. Since the mapping is determined by ordinal position, n is only used for
the site label in the Probe window and Probe report, and can therefore use any
numbering scheme. This added flexibility allows for zero-based vs. one-based
electrode site numbering (different data acquisition systems use one or the
other), or, for example, the row and column site numbering used by the MCS 8x8
standard MEA.
