Reading Raw Data
Hi,
I just want to confirm that I'm understanding the raw data correctly. (See below for recording -- sample rate is 250 and number channels is 8)
1st column: sample index
2nd column: ??
3rd column: CHANNEL 1
4th column: CHANNEL 2
5th column: CHANNEL 3
6th column: CHANNEL 4
7th column: CHANNEL 5
8th column: CHANNEL 6
9th column: CHANNEL 7
10th column: CHANNEL 8
11th column: timestamp
12th column: timestamp in a different format

Comments
Hi SigCraft,
There should be a comment line(s) at the top of the CSV, giving the description of each column. Generally for Cyton, the ordering is: sample index, 8 or 16 channels, 3 'Aux' channels (accelerometer x y z, or analog / digital data), timestamps.
Cyton channels that appear to be in millivolt range (yours show from 15 to 19 mV), are because of the DC offset. You can remove this with a bandpass or highpass filter.
