voltage plot bug in network plot
Posted: Thu Jun 08, 2006 4:17 pm
I have created a simple neuron with the cell builder and a simple NetStim that I have connected to the neuron with the NetBuilder. When I do this in version 5.8 it works fine. However, my student just downloaded version 5.9 and we have both tried doing the exact same thing with the following bug:
When we go to set up a voltage plot and use "Plot What" we can select the cell (in the left panel, by double-clicking), then the section (in the middle panel, by double-clicking). However, when we double-click on the section in the middle panel, nothing pops up in the right-hand panel (where we would normally choose to plot the voltage and specify the location along the section). Again, the voltage DOES pop up in version 5.8 (dated Oct. 14, 2005) but DOES NOT pop up in the new version 5.9. This is completely crippling to us because we can't plot anything and aren't sure if NEURON has crashed more thoroughly.
Please help by explaining this and/or reposting the old version 5.8 so that we can work from that non-faulty version of NEURON.
Also of note, this was done on windows XP and we have experienced the same problem cited in an earlier posting to the "Windows" section of this user group forum: namely, whenever we click on "Save session" or "working directory" we get an error message at the oc prompt. Again, this error did not occur in version 5.8. I don't know if this and our other problem are related, e.g. if in both cases, NEURON version 5.9 can't find a relevant file.
