Setting up UnitMatch with OpenEphys recordings

[ryf76]

Hello,
I am very new to electrophysiology analysis and both openephys and unitmatch. I am attempting to follow the demo provided in the github for UnitMatch but realize the main issue is that my data isn't organized as the software expects and I am confused on how to get to that point.
My OpenEphys recordings are saved as continous.dat files and my kilosort outputs are in NYP in addition to the temp_wh.dat file who's path is given in the params.py file. It seems that UnitMatch (ExtractKiloSortData.m) is looking in params.py for the raw data. Even when I force it to use continous.dat file there is still an error in the memmapfile function call on line 104 of ExtractAndSaveAverageWaveforms.m. It all seems to come back to the raw data file paths I'm providing, but other than continous.dat and temp_wh.dat I don't have anything that would contain my recording infomration.
In summary, I would just like to know if I should be altering my .dat into .bin files or if I;m completely on the wrong track of understanding how to use UnitMatch.
Thank you!
