  1. Compile arte_to_mwl in src/extract directory in ARTE-backend.

  2. Compile mwsoft64 . The makefile in the main directory should make the files in all the sub directories. For more instructions on installing, see the mwsoft64 readme. Then, copy the executable spikeparms2 from the convert folder to your path /usr/local/bin

  3. Use the python file arteextract.py in arte-backend/src/convert to run arte_to_mwl. This script avoids having to run the converter for each tetrode separately. In the script, make sure to change the path for your arte_to_mwl program. Then you can run the python script like so:

python arte_extract.py -trodenames 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 -trodelabels 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 -lfpbanknames 0 1 2 3 -i ~/Data/March2016/MarchData.data

trode names and lfp bank names are the names given in the arte_session file. Trode labels and trode label prefix will both be in the names of the folders/files for each individual tetrode. Your .data file should be converted to .tt, lfps should be converted to .eeg, and spikeparms2 should convert mwl .tt waveform files to mwl.pxtabw spike parameters file.
