9.2. Creating m4d Files: (Done Outside the Scan Suite)
When you have transferred the data, you need to create the m4d files for the recording. This is done on the megdaw machine, which is in the Stimulus Preparation Room. The m4d files are files created to allow the data to be read using MATLAB and other analysis software.
- Log on to megdaw (Note: not megmap in the MEG Suite).
- Open a shell (Right click on the screen, right click on “Programs” in the pop-up menu, and right click on “Command Tool”.
- Type the following at the command prompt:
bash
- Press “Enter”, this should change the test at the start for the command prompt. Then type:
create_all_m4d.sh
- The m4d files should take 10-15 minutes to generate.
