Software

Release Date: December 19^th, 2024

Compatible with:

• Gemini NeuroPort and Gemini Cerebus Systems
  • PN: 12125, 12126
  • Gemini NeuroPort (RS-0049)
    • Note: Gemini NeuroPort users will need to fill out the NeuroPort Central Software and Firmware Request Form
  • Gemini Cerebus (RS-0048)

• Analog/Digital NeuroPort and Cerebus Systems
  • PN: 7530, 9650, 10411
  • Analog/Digital NeuroPort (RS-0049)
    • Note: Analog/Digital NeuroPort users will need to fill out the NeuroPort Central Software and Firmware Request Form
  • Analog/Digital Cerebus (RS-0048)

• Cereplex Direct System
  • PN: 7380
  • Cereplex Direct (RS-0101)

Enhancements: 

• Reloading Previous Workspace – When launching Central, users will have the option to reopen the application windows from their previous session
• Central will now alert users that their headstage is in impedance mode when recording on Cerebus data acquisition systems (RS-0048 Specific)
• Channels’ configuration menu can now be accessed directly in Raster Plot by right-clicking
• Users can now configure Line Noise Cancellation settings via the cbMEX API
• Added color changing capability for color blindness using Window’s File Registry application on Central

Bug Fixes: 

• Changing the external gain value in a channel’s settings menu will no longer cause packet loss issues
• Channel deselection in the Impedance Tester application now works properly
• Insistent popup messages warning of overwriting files after declining have been removed
• The Spike Panel application now accepts mapfiles with channel counts greater than the user’s setup supports
• cbMEX users can now change the save file destination folder using the ‘fileconfig’ function
• Central’s calculation of remaining disk space works properly for systems configurations with more than 128 channels
• The File Storage application’s “Section” field segments properly for systems supporting PTP timestampsUpdated Central to scale text size based on Windows Display settings
• Resolved a rarebug where the CerePlex Direct displayed 0 front end channels in the Cereplex Direct software
• Resolved an issue where files recorded with cbMEX were encountering incorrect values in their Data.Comments.TimestampStartedand NEV.Data.Comments.TimestampStartedSec fields
• Neuromotive users can now remove spike acquisition from their recording channels without impacting compatibility with behavior tracking functions
• Other quality of life bug fixes!

Changes:

• Removed the “1 Chan per file” option from the File Storage application
• Prefixes for channel sources were added to the channel name in the Hardware Configuration application and to saved files (e.g. Hub1-, Hub2-, NSP-)

Known Issues:

• For Central Configuration Files (.ccf) that have an analog output configured for persistent waveform generation without a specific trigger (e.g. instant), the output does not automatically execute when loading in the .ccf. A workaround is to manually enable the analog output within Central or cbMEX API after loading the .ccf.

Release Date: December 19^th, 2024

Compatible with:

• Systems
  • PN: 12125
  • Note: Gemini NSP Firmware (RS-0149) and Gemini Hub Firmware (RS-0150) are both packaged into the Gemini Firmware Updater (RS-0153). Users can upgrade their Gemini NSP and Hub Firmware simultaneously by connecting all components to the Host PC and running RS-0153.
  • Gemini NeuroPort (RS-0149)
    • Gemini Cerebus (RS-0149)

Bug Fixes:

• Fixed an issue with Soft Sync Line Noise Cancellation (LNC) not working correctly with 50 Hz line noise
• Configuring analog outputs to monitor channels in a 512-channel configuration no longer creates signal artifacts
• Fixed an issue where analog output custom waveforms couldn’t trigger from a second Gemini Hub’s channels
• Resolved ararephenomenon where timestamps were appearing out of order during continuous recordings
• Central now prohibits digital outputs from accepting configuration changes while in a non-configurable state
• Fixed a rare issue with custom analog waveforms not triggering on spike units
• Central’s line noise cancellation estimate waveform now appears in Single Neural Channel Windows for Gemini Hub channels
• Other quality of life bug fixes!

Known Issues:

• Soft Sync Line Noise Cancellation (LNC) does not remove the harmonics for 50/60 Hz line noise (e.g. 100/120 Hz, 150/180 Hz).
