The map file contains five columns. The first column indicates the location of the spike 

window on the x-axis. The second column indicates the location of the spike panel on 

the y-axis. Point 0,0 is on the lower left corner of the screen. The third column indicates 

the bank the physical channel is located on (A, B, C, or D) and the fourth column 

indicates the bank pin the channel is connected to. The fifth column is optional and 

defines the label for the channel. 
In the example above, the first line indicates that the channel on bank A pin 4 is named 

elec08 and it’s located on the 1st column from left (0) and the 2nd row from the bottom 

(1). The last line indicates that the channel on bank A pin 1 (channel 1) is named elec04 

and it should be placed on the 4th column (3) from left and the 2nd row from bottom (1). 

Location positions start from 0. Any line that starts with “//” will be used as comment and 

will be ignored. The first line after the last // line is the name of the map file as referenced 

in the apps and will also be ignored.
