That's exactly what caused the problem. SEClamp[0] and SEClamp[1] are different objects. ... Or maybe something references seclampList.o(0).i, then seclampList.o(0) is destroyed. Either way, you'll get a "freed" error message. Oh, thanks for the prompt answer, the quoted part are what hap...

From your description, it is hard for me to know exactly what you did. However, when an error message complains that something was "freed," it means that there has been an attempt to refer to an object that has been destroyed. My confusing is exactly here: in my undserstanding according t...

Help on pointprocess initialization with multirun fitter

Hi, I have problem with using pointprocess with multirun fitter. Here is what I did: 1. load the model. 2. load the saved multirun fitter session. 3. press "Error Value" button in window "MulRunFitter[0] Generator" it worked fine and gave me an error value of 1.0341e-07. 4. (opti...

You might want to have a look at this discussion on how to use the standard run system: https://www.neuron.yale.edu/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=495&highlight=finitialize Actually I read this thread before, though I still cannot figured out why stdinit() will do but init() won;t when I work with Mutr...

If init_fit.hoc is using stdinit() instead of init(): stdinit() load_file("SEClampFit.ses") Then everything is fine. In the customized init() I created something like "rig/instrument", i.e. an SEClamp. because parameters of some instruments depend on the result of init(). Now I r...

Segmentation violation when load_file a .ses file

When I load my model and type manually $ /path/to/special model_setup.hoc - oc> init() oc> load_file("SEClampFit.ses") every things goes fine and a multirun fitter pops out. However when I append this load_file to a init_fit.hoc script and run the script I got the following error message (...

Re: modeling electrodes and clamp circuitry

In theory it should be the latter. Practice is another matter; do you know of an experimental method for measuring "the residual resistance of the ruptured patch" ? The experimenters retract the electrodes a little after finishing patch-recording from a cell, and do an I-V curve of the el...

Re: modeling electrodes and clamp circuitry

how do people deal with non-infinite "seal resistance"? I read some of the materials mentioned above but did not find it mentioned. Too bad nobody seems to be teaching this stuff. The answer to your question "how do people deal with . . . " is somewhere in the primary literature...

Re: modeling electrodes and clamp circuitry

The SEClamp class, which is built into NEURON, is a voltage source in series with a resistor. Think of it as a model of an electrode that has series resistance but no capacitance, attached to a "perfect single electrode clamp device." You only need to use the Linear Circuit Builder if you...

Re: use the Linear Circuit Builder

Easily done with the Linear Circuit Builder. Decide how to represent your electrode and whether or not you want to include compensation circuitry. The simplest electrode model is an equivalent L circuit --lumps the series resistance into a single element, and lumps the electrode capacitance into a ...

Re: how to read from, and record data into binary files?

I am simulating an IClamp through cells and recording Voltage vs time. I have no problem recording and reading data from Ascii files, but the volume of these files becomes incredibly large very quickly. I want to save the data in binary format. Is it possible? How is it done? I am actually zipping ...
