I am using Fieldtrip for realtime P300 classification. i am facing one problem that i am unable to read Events (stimulus markers from Vision recorder) my flashing program is in Visual c, that communicates with vision recorder and markers are displayed correctly in VisionRec. while reading from buffer i get data correctly but it doesn't gives me events. the command event = read_event(cfg.dataset, 'minsample', prevSample+1); gives me an empty vector. I am using FT_REALTIME_BRAINAMPPROXY to read from Vision recorder. with default setting i.e cfg.port=51244;cfg.target.datafile = 'buffer://localhost:1972' cfg.target.eventfile = 'buffer://localhost:1972' after that if i use ft_realtime_signalviewer it displays data correctly but it shows no event.

Dear Abdullah Khalid, Could you provide some extra info needed for reproduction of this bug: - What platform(s) do you run the acquistion on? - Which version of FieldTrip do you use? - What version of Matlab do you use? - Could you list specifics of you amplifier? Further, could you describe a series of minimal steps to reproduce your problem? For example 1) start this program on this computer, 2) start start attached script on this computer. Best regards, Boris Reuderink

Created attachment 189 Flashing program that gives markers to Vision recorder

(In reply to comment #1) - What platform(s) do you run the acquistion on? - Which version of FieldTrip do you use? - What version of Matlab do you use? --> Using Windows XP, service pack 3, 32-bit --> Fieldtrip-20111004 --> MATLAb 7.11(R2010b) - Could you list specifics of you amplifier? I am using brain vision's BRAINAMP MR amplifier with brain vision recorder software. Steps to reproduce problem 1) Start brainVision recorder and P300.exe(flashing program that will give markers to vision recorder) 2) use this code to write data to buffer cfg=[]; cfg.host='EEG'; cfg.port=51244; cfg.channel='all'; cfg.target.datafile='buffer://localhost:1972'; cfg.target.eventfile='buffer://localhost:1972'; ft_realtime_brainampproxy(cfg) 3) Open another Matlab instance to read data from buffer and plot it using this code cfg=[]; cfg.blocksize=1; cfg.readevent='yes'; cfg.dataset='buffer://localhost:1972'; cfg.eventfile='buffer://localhost:1972'; ft_realtime_signalviewer(cfg) you will notice that ft_realtime_signalviewer() works fine if there are no markers(events). but when there are Events, it fails to read them.

Dear Abdulla Khalid, Thank you for this clear explanation. Bug 1164 seems related to your problem, and we are working hard to resolve this issue. You sent a stimulation program (P300.exe). Unfortunately, we cannot debug with executables that are not included with FieldTrip. Would you be so kind to record the network stream that is created by BrainVision Recorder during your experiment? We could then replay it locally to simulate your issue. You can record such a stream with the tool "netcat". On a linux/unix computer, you can use a command like: $ netcat
Boris Reuderink - 2011-11-28 16:01:17 +0100
(In reply to comment #5) The netcat command looks garbled, and refers to an unrelated bug. It should be: $ netcat IPADDRESS 51244 > bug1172-tcpdump.dat where IPADDRESS is the ip address of the computer running BrainVision Recorder.
