data stream (0-7); each data stream supports up to 32 channels.
Each SmartLink64 headstage uses two data streams. Each SmartLink16
headstage uses one entire data stream.

Spike Scope voltage trigger mode
0: trigger on digital input
1: trigger on voltage threshold
int16
Spike Scope voltage threshold
Spike voltage threshold (units: microvolts)

™
digital input channel used for spike trigger (0-15)
int16
Spike Scope digital edge polarity
0: trigger on digital falling edge
1: trigger on digital rising edge
int16
Electrode impedance magnitude
Last measured impedance magnitude (units: Ohms)
int16
Electrode impedance phase
Last measured impedance phase (units: degrees)
Even non-amplifier channels will contain fields for Spike Scope trigger parameters and electrode impedance data, but these fields will contain default
values that may be ignored.
The Spike Scope feature in the GUI is used only to aid in viewing neural spikes; the software saves full waveforms, not just spikes. However, the us-
er-specified thresholds set in the Spike Scope are saved for each channel, so it would be relatively easy to write a script to isolate action potentials
based on these thresholds (e.g., for compressing saved data files after recording).
This concludes the Standard Intan RHD2000 Header contents. Typical headers consume very little disk space (a few KB) even for large numbers of en-
abled channels.
