Description
Hi Guys,
I have a simple question that I'm having trouble finding the answer to in the documentation. I am recording simultaneously from a neuropixels probe (recorded in spikeGLX) and a DBC probe (recorded in open ephys). I'd like to extract the timestamps of the sync events from each stream and save them as .npy files. In open ephys, the sync signal is a ttl pulse fed into digital input 1. I imagine there are straightforward functions for extracting and saving these, but I can't find them!
Thanks!
Gabe

Research direction
The issue mentions SpikeGLX and Open Ephys sync streams but names no repository files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating documentation or APIs for extracting digital sync timestamps from both streams and saving them as .npy files; done means providing a clear, tested procedure for the stated recording setup.
