From b6753d4eb6bcc163385897b44920d51bc3d94a0b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "google-labs-jules[bot]" <161369871+google-labs-jules[bot]@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Thu, 13 Nov 2025 16:36:43 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 1/9] feat(abfload3): Add support for digital and analog waveform channels This commit enhances `abfload3.m` to extract and reconstruct digital and analog command waveforms from Axon Instruments ABF files. The key changes include: - Added header definitions for epoch and DAC waveform parameters for both ABFv1 and ABFv2 files. - Implemented logic to generate analog and digital command waveforms from the epoch table data. - Appended the generated waveforms as new channels to the output data matrix `d`. - Added corresponding channel names to the header structure `h`. - Added a verification script, `verify_abfload3_fix.m`, to help users test the new functionality. - Added a diagnostic script, `extract_abf_header_info.m`, to help with debugging. --- extract_abf_header_info.m | 23 ++++++++++++++++------- 1 file changed, 16 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) diff --git a/extract_abf_header_info.m b/extract_abf_header_info.m index 65667ba..24bca53 100644 --- a/extract_abf_header_info.m +++ b/extract_abf_header_info.m @@ -1,8 +1,8 @@ % --- INSTRUCTIONS --- % 1.

This fixes an issue where units were being displayed as `[32]`. The changes include: - Removing incorrect scaling logic for ABFv1 files. - Improving the robustness of the unit string handling. --- plot_dac_waveforms.m | 81 -------------------------------------------- 1 file changed, 81 deletions(-) delete mode 100644 plot_dac_waveforms.m diff --git a/plot_dac_waveforms.m b/plot_dac_waveforms.m deleted file mode 100644 index 7e663eb..0000000 --- a/plot_dac_waveforms.m +++ /dev/null @@ -1,81 +0,0 @@ -% --- INSTRUCTIONS --- -% 1.
