Research direction

Start with the linked get_probe example and the reported 404 for manufacturer 'neuronexus' and probe 'A1x16-5mm-100-177-A16'. Check how the library availability and wiring questions are handled in the documentation; done would be a clear explanation of the missing-probe workflow and TDT headstage wiring guidance.

Description

probeinterface question

Hello,

I'm following this page: https://probeinterface.readthedocs.io/en/main/examples/ex_10_get_probe_from_library.html
to download a probe from the library.

When I type in my probe of interest:

manufacturer = 'neuronexus'
probe_name = 'A1x16-5mm-100-177-A16'
probe = get_probe(manufacturer, probe_name)
print(probe)

I get the error: HTTPError: HTTP Error 404: Not Found

I assume this means that this probe is not available in the library? (it's finding the probe provided in the tutorial: 'A1x32-Poly3-10mm-50-177' so the code must be working). If my probe of interest is not available in the library, what is the next step? Would it be to generate the probe from scratch?

How would this affect the wiring? I use a TDT headstage. Would I need to figure that out manually?

Thanks,
M
