Exported to .csv spreadsheet format

This program efficiently detects the presence of mini action potential during an electrophysiological recording with the patch-clamp method (mEPSCs, eIPSCs).
For the moment, it is compatible with files created by ABF pClamp (© Molecular Devices).Version 9 and 10 are supported.

The characteristics of PA are exported to .csv spreadsheet format
Column

Num: Event number in the list of events detected.
You may have jumps corresponding to remove event.
Positions: Time of the peak.
Max-BL: Peak amplitude (measured on the biological signal but not on fit signal)
Baseline: Value of the baseline before the event.
Rise time: Duration between the 10 and 90% of the peak amplitude
Offset Exp: Value of the baseline of fit signal
Amplitude Exp: Value of the amplitude of fit signal
Tau exp: tau of exponential
R*R exp: R2, square of Pearson correlation coefficient
Higner 5* tau: 1 if the next event is over 5*tau (n), the fit is not disturbed by this event.
Higher 5*Tau_Exp(n-1): 1 if the previous event is over 5*tau (n-1), the amplitude and rise time are not disturbed by this event.
And operation:
i) 1 or 3 if the next event is over 5*tau (n)
ii) 2 or 3 if the previous event is over 5*tau (n-1)
iii) 3 if the event preceding is over 5*tau (n-1) and the next was over than 5*tau

You can export to spreadsheet file or/and image files(jpeg).
