This class allows you to record traces of any fields of any object during the simulation. The recorded traces of an Recorder with handle rec_idx can be obtained via
R=csim('get',rec_idx,'traces');
The ecxact form of R depends on the flag commonChannels (see below). Note that the traces returned always start at time $t=0$ and are recorded at an interval of dt.
In addition a recorder can also record spikes from spike emitting objects. Via a command like
csim('connect',rec_idx,neuron_idx,'spikes');
the Recorder with handle rec_idx is set up to record the spikes form the spike emitting objects with handles neuron_idx.
commonChannels=0 In this case the Matlab array R is a struct array with the only field channel which is in turn a struct array with the following fields:
R.channel(j).idx : handle of the object from which field the data was recorded
R.channel(j).spiking : binary flag (0/1) which determines if data should be interpreted as spike times or as an analog signal
R.channel(j).dt : time discretization; for analog signals only
R.channel(j).data : signal data : vector of the analog values or spike times.
R.channel(j).fieldName : name of the recorded field
commonChannels=1 In this case R has two fields (WARNING: no spikes are returned):
R.data : A double array where R.data(j,s) is the s -th recorded value of the j -th field.
R.info : A struct array where R.info(j).idx is the handle of the object from which the field R.info(j).fieldName is recorded.
