This source module communicates with a PXI-based data acquisition system for Neuropixels 1.0 probes. It can acquire data from up to 16 probes simultaneously.
...
The editor will automatically create a probe selection interface for each basestation that's available. Each basestation can communicate with up to 4 probes, indicated by circles. When the probes are initially detected, they show up as orange. Unconnected probes appear gray. Once they are initialized, connected probes become filled in with green. When the currently selected probe turns light green, it means that all settings have been properly loaded, and the plugin is ready to begin data acquisition. In this example, there are 6 probes connected, and the probe on basestation 2, port 1 is selected.

Important note: The GUI will crash if you attempt to reference AP band channels and LFP band channels. Make sure you only select channels below 384 for referencing.
Headstage test
If you have a headstage test module, you can run a suite of tests to ensure the headstage is functioning properly. When the Neuropix plugin is dropped into the signal chain and at least one headstage test module is connected to the PXI system, the GUI will automatically run all headstage tests and output the results in a popup window:
Built-in self tests
If you have a probe that's not working properly, these tests can be used to help pinpoint where the problem lies.
