The issue of importing ACQ format files

[KD206]

I am a beginner in PSPM and hope to use it to process and analyze SCR data. AndI am currently facing some difficulties regarding importing data. If possible, I hope to get your help.
At present, I can confirm that the format is acq version<3.9.0. My operation steps are shown in the following figure.
And it reports errors，which I show it in the picture.But I am not sure where the problem lies, whether it is a file name issue.

Apparently acqread fails to read your file. To troubleshoot could you perhaps share the *.acq file (here or privately)?

I'm sorry, I just realized that my address doesn't seem to be displayed. I'm not sure if you can see the specific email address on your end. If not, perhaps I can share one of the examples here. Looking forward to your reply. And my personal address is 1257265383@qq.com Or 8304210402@csu.edu.cn.

Dear researcher, hello. On November 30th, I have already sent the file to the email address shown in the picture below. And I have not received a response yet, so I am not sure if you have received it or if the email address I sent is incorrect. Thank you for your help. If there is any disturbance, please forgive me. We look forward to your reply.

Thank you, we haven't received anything yet. Please send to my personal email address (www.caian.uni-bonn.de/en/team/team/dominik-r-bach)

Thank you, we haven't received anything yet. Please send to my personal email address (www.caian.uni-bonn.de/en/team/team/dominik-r-bach)

Dear developer, I have sent the specific files to your personal email. Thank you again for your help. If you haven't received the email, please let me know and I will send it to you again.

[dominikbach]

Thanks for sending the file. I suspect that this is not actually an Acknowledge file. I sent troubleshooting instructions by email.

[KD206]

Perhaps I should send it to you privately. So, can you share your email address. Or my personal address is ***@***.*** Or ***@***.*** 君陌 ***@***.*** &nbsp;

Maybe I also have such a problem, can not import acq data. Here are my steps and error results.

[dominikbach]

Could you also share a data file? You can find our email address here: https://www.caian.uni-bonn.de/en

[dominikbach]

Thanks for sending the file. I could not reproduce the problem, i.e. I was able to import the data file with SCR and digital marker channels. Unfortunately, I don't read Chinese and so cannot understand the warning messages that you posted.

Dear Prof. Dominik,
Thanks for your help. The warning about matlab is translated as follows. The warning from the partner above is similar to mine. I don't know whether there is a problem with our operation or our matlab. Could you please send me the specific process of data import? I still want to give it a try.

If the problem can be fixed without modifying the job, the computation can be resumed by running

Thank you. I suspect that the selected data file (1.mat in the screenshot you sent) is not the correct file. I note the file you sent me via email was called sub1.mat; and I could import it.

[yooow-free]

Thank you very much. I think I know what the problem is. I tried again. It seems that physiological data can be imported without mark data, but I can't import SCR data and mark information at the same time. Is it because my mark was incorrectly loaded? I don't know much about the extraction of mark information, but I only wrote a simple code to extract the mark in the digital channel. Could you please send me the correct acq data containing mark data? I'm not sure how to import it at the same time or in what format. Thank you very much for your patient help, best wishes.

[dominikbach]

I have no difficulties importing the file you sent. Matlabbatch script appended below, and screenshot of the imported file attached.

clear matlabbatch
pspm_jobman('initcfg');
matlabbatch{1}.pspm{1}.prep{1}.import.datatype.acqmat.datafile = {'sub1.mat'};
matlabbatch{1}.pspm{1}.prep{1}.import.datatype.acqmat.importtype{1}.scr.chan_nr.chan_nr_spec = 3;
matlabbatch{1}.pspm{1}.prep{1}.import.datatype.acqmat.importtype{1}.scr.scr_transfer.none = true;
matlabbatch{1}.pspm{1}.prep{1}.import.datatype.acqmat.importtype{2}.marker.chan_nr.chan_nr_spec = 6;
matlabbatch{1}.pspm{1}.prep{1}.import.datatype.acqmat.importtype{2}.marker.flank_option = 'default';
matlabbatch{1}.pspm{1}.prep{1}.import.overwrite = 2;
pspm_jobman('run', matlabbatch);

Thanks, I can import SCR data, but I can't import mark. As far as I know, the tag information collected by biopac is stored in multiple channels, so when importing the tag I'm not sure whether to select a specific channel or search.

[dominikbach]

If there are multiple channels then you cannot use the "search" option (because PsPM would not know which of the multiple channels to use). So, you need to specify each of the channels individually. If need be, they can later be combined into one, in a separate step.

Dear Prof. Dominik,
I can now import the data and marks. In the past, I always chose not to overwrite existing files when importing data, so I did not get the desired result. Now I have sorted out the mark of mat data and got the result I want. Thank you very much for your help. The following is my result:
