GetChanAmpAssign

static variable AI_MCC_GetAmpChannel(string device, variable headStage)

Return the channel of the currently selected head stage.

static variable AI_MCC_IsValidSerialAndChannel(string mccSerial = defaultValue, variable axonSerial = defaultValue, variable channel = defaultValue)

static variable AI_MCC_AssertOnInvalidAccessType(variable accessType)

static variable AI_MCC_GetMCCScale(variable clampMode, variable func, variable accessType)

Return the unit prefixes used by MIES in comparison to the MCC app.

Parameters:

• clampMode – clamp mode (pass NaN for doesn’t matter)

• func – MCC function, one of AI_SendToAmpConstants

• accessType – One of MCCAccessType

variable AI_MCC_UpdateDependentSettings(string device, variable headStage, variable func, variable clampMode)

Update the settings which the amplifier changed as a side effect of writing func

Parameters:

• device – device

• headStage – MIES headstage number, must be in the range [0, NUM_HEADSTAGES[

• func – Function which was written, see AI_SendToAmpConstants

• clampMode – clamp mode of func

std::tuple<variable, variable, string, string> AI_MCC_QueryGainsUnitsForClampMode(string device, variable headstage, variable clampMode)

Query the MCC application for the gains and units of the given clamp mode.

Assumes that the correct amplifier is already selected!

variable AI_MCC_OpenMCCs(string ampSerialNumList, string ampTitleList)

Opens Multi-clamp commander software.

Parameters:

• ampSerialNumList – A text list of amplifier serial numbers without leading zeroes Ex. “834001;435003;836059”, “0;” starts the MCC in Demo mode Duplicate serial numbers are ignored as well as amplifier titles for the duplicates. For each unique serial number one MCC is opened.

• ampTitleList – MCC gui window titles, blank or with the same number of items as ampSerialNumList

Returns:

1 if all unique MCCs specified in ampSerialNumList were opened, 0 if one or more MCCs specified in ampSerialNumList were not able to be opened

static wave AI_MCC_GetMCCSerialNumbers()

Gets the serial numbers of all open MCCs.

Returns:

a 1D FREE wave containing amplifier serial numbers without leading zeroes

static string AI_MCC_GetMCCWinFilePath()

Return a path to the MCC.

Hardcoded as Igor does not allow to query that information.

Distinguishes between i386 and x64 Igor versions

string AI_MCC_GetAmplifierList()

Return a nicely layouted list of amplifier channels.

Used as popup menu value function.

static string AI_MCC_FormatTelegraphServerList(wave telegraphServers)

string AI_MCC_GetAmplifierDef(variable ampSerial, variable ampChannel)

Return the amplifier list entry for the given amplifier serial and channel.

std::tuple<variable, variable> AI_MCC_ParseAmplifierDef(string amplifierDef)

Parse the entries which AI_GetAmplifierDef() created.

variable AI_MCC_GetHoldingCommand(string device, variable headstage)

variable AI_MCC_GetMode(string device, variable headstage)

static std::tuple<variable, variable> AI_MCC_RetrieveGains(string device, variable headstage, variable clampMode)

static variable AI_MCC_GetOppositeClampAmpMode(variable mode)

variable AI_MCC_SelectMultiClamp(string device, variable headStage)

variable AI_MCC_SetClampMode(string device, variable headStage, variable mode, variable zeroStep, variable selectAmp)

variable AI_MCC_SendToAmp(string device, variable headStage, variable mode, variable func, variable accessType, variable checkBeforeWrite = defaultValue, variable usePrefixes = defaultValue, variable selectAmp = defaultValue, variable value = defaultValue)

variable AI_MCC_EnsureCorrectMode(string device, variable headStage, variable selectAmp)

variable AI_MCC_FillAndSendAmpliferSettings(string device, variable sweepNo)

variable AI_MCC_QueryGainsFromMCC(string device)

variable AI_MCC_FindConnectedAmps(variable rescanHardware)

static std::tuple<AxonTelegraph_DataStruct> AI_MCC_GetTelegraphStruct(variable axonSerial, variable channel)
