Hello,

I am trying to save output data to a MATLAB file, but I received the following error when I added the line of code: SimConfig.saveMat = True before running the simulation:

Code: Select all

Traceback (most recent call last):

TypeError: Could not convert None (type <type 'NoneType'>) to array

Additionally, when I tried to save it as a TXT file instead, nothing was downloaded. I noticed that in the source code, the simFuncs.py file does not seem to handle this case despite it being documented on the website. I was testing this with the tut5.py file. I would appreciate any help with this issue. Thanks in advance!

Thanks for your message. Unfortunately I hadn't tested saving to .mat after the latest changes and there was a small bug -- I fixed it and pushed to the development branch in github: https://github.com/Neurosim-lab/netpyne ... evelopment . It will be included in the next version release, but if you want to use it before you can always remove your current version, clone from github and checkout the 'development' branch.

Re: saving to txt, this feature is still pending; apologies, I should remove from doc.

Thanks for your feedback and let us know if you have any more questions
