Description

Hello,
I am an engineer at Corticale and I am using Phy on some data collected with our probes.

Currently, I am analyzing data from a probe with 8 shanks (2 columns and 64 rows for each shank, for a total of 1024 channels). if I have understood correctly, it seems that traces from the same shank have the same color, but they are not contiguous as they are organized by depth.
I was wondering if it would be possible to organize the channels in TraceView not only by depth but also by index, or at least to organize the traces so that those belonging to the same shank are contiguous.

thanks in advances

Research direction

Start with TraceView and trace the existing channel ordering and color grouping for multi-shank probes. Define how ordering by channel index or contiguous shank membership should work, then verify that an 8-shank probe displays each shank contiguously without breaking depth-based behavior.
