Step 3: Setting the slave channels
                                                                                                                         Next ->

If you have master and slave channels (e.g., sound files + neuronal activity channels) you have to tell SAP2 where those channels are. SAP2 expect to fine wave files that match the master (sound) channel by name. The expected annotation (which is automatically generated by SAP2 recorder) is

sound: BirdName_dateStamp.timeStamp_month_day_hour_min_sec.wave
first slave: s1~BirdName_dateStamp.timeStamp_month_day_hour_min_sec.wave
second slave: s2~BirdName_dateStamp.timeStamp_month_day_hour_min_sec.wave
third slave: s3~BirdName_dateStamp.timeStamp_month_day_hour_min_sec.wave


By default, the slave channels are located in subfolders named Slave1, Slave2... To set the slave channel folders manual select

and then type the folder name. Turn the slave channel on by selecting Average (if you want to save the average values for each millisecond of data), rectified (absolute values) or squared:

One more decision you have to set up the batch so as to stop (wait) if there is a missing slave channel. If you want the batch to continue even if no slave channel was found, select graphic


After you finish setting the slave channel click graphic to return to the main page.

Note: the raw feature table will have different number of fields depending on the number of slave channels (each channel add 5 fields). Do not change the number of slave channels "on the fly" Instead, set the maximum number of slave channels and check graphic
