• Manual Sorting: Full user control of cluster assignment

• Automatic Methods: K-Means, Standard E-M, T-Distribution E-M, Valley-Seeking clustering

• Template Sorting: Match waveforms to predefined templates

• Optimal Cluster Detection: Automatically identifies best number of clusters

Batch Processing

• Automated Workflows: Process multiple files with predefined parameters

• Script Commands: File, Dir, ForEachFile, ForEachChannel, Set, Process commands

• Time Savings: Eliminates repetitive tasks across large datasets

Data Handling

• Import: PLX and PL2 files from Plexon hardware; third-party data formats

• Export: Timestamps to NeuroExplorer (.nex) and other formats
