Compatibility for .pl2 files
As Plexon .plx file is supported, will there also compatibility for the newer format .pl2 be implemented?
Hi @KonKob! Currently we neither have example files in the new format nor precise format specifications. If you can provide those, we can start extending the Plexon support to also cover the new format.
Hi Julia,
we are also interested in neo compatibility for .pl2 files. I attached a zip file contaning a short recording. I hope this helps.

Hi,
in addition: that's what I can find on the format: https://plexon.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/PL2-File-System-Overview.pdf

Thanks! Unfortunately the zip archive seems to be corrupted on github. Could you deposit it also here: https://amubox.univ-amu.fr/s/5Cd2BedrfJs9BQf
Would it be ok for you if I add this data to our public test file repository? If yes, whom can I reference as provider?
That's unfortunately not a format specification as it is not describing the memory layout of the file. If you come across a more detail description, feel free to add a link here.
Hi Julia,
yes I am going to deposit the file there. Also, no problem for adding the file to your public repository. Provider is Vincis Lab @ Florida State University.
Best, Roberto
Hey guys, in the meantime I found the Software Downloads option on the Plexon website (https://plexon.com/software-downloads/#software-downloads-SDKs). Here you can find Software in C, Matlab and Python to open .pl2 files. Maybe that helps you @vincisLab!
Thanks for the reference. I looks like there's no way to read the files without using the plexon dll, the format very secretive. I will look into adding support for pl2 based on the dll in the next weeks
