6 ASCII Import/Export
6.1 Loading Files
The ASCII import filter is used to load stimulus protocols from an ASCII file into the stimulus
worksheet of MC_Stimulus. You can use this feature for feeding recorded signals (for example,
exported from MC_Rack, see the MC_Rack User Manual) into the stimulus generator.
The current version of the import filter is version 1.10. Only rectangular waveforms are
supported in this version.
Fig. 1 ASCII import example: Stimulating with biopotential waveforms
Shown is a single spike recorded from an organotypic hippocampal culture. The spike waveform
was exported as ASCII from MC_Rack and imported into the MC_Stimulus program.
Warning: All previous records in the active MC_Stimulus file (.stm) file are overwritten. Please
create a new file and import the data into an empty worksheet to avoid data loss.
1. On the File menu, click Import ASCII File.
The Open dialog box appears.
