How do i create a common channel file?

Hi Josh,

You can run the process “Standardize > Uniform list of channels” on your recordings.
It defines a common list of channels and rewrites the channel files and the data files to match this new list. You can chose between:

  • keeping only the channels present in all the datasets (some data is losts)
  • keeping all the channels present in all the datasets (adds zeros when the recordings are not available)
  • forcing all the files to match the channel configuration of the first data file in the Process1 list.

You have to run this immediately after you import the recordings as this process does not fix the head models, source maps or frequency files.
If you have a lot of data already imported, make a copy of everything before you start because this process can have a strong destructive power if not used properly.

Cheers,
Francois
