Title: One probe systems
Post by: asanchez on October 22, 2015, 18:47

Hi all,

I've just read that the one-probe functionality is included in 2015.0 but can't visualise such a configuration in VNL. I tried two ways:

device_configuration = DeviceConfiguration(central_region, electrode)
device_configuration = DeviceConfiguration(central_region, [electrode])

But they just show up as a bulk configurations in the builder. Also I'm assuming there's no way of generating one-probe structures in the builder but maybe I just haven't found the way to do it.

Thanks in advance!

Hey asanchez.

There is indeed one-probe support in the 2015.0 version, however it is not really supported in the VNL.
It can be viewed in the Viewer and most results can be visualized using the normal tools.

I have attached a small example script on how to define the structure (which is called a SurfaceConfiguration),
and a screenshot of it in Viewer. We are getting some real exiting result from this feature, so any feedback is very welcome.

Best regards,
