Variables

Display Name	Variable Name	I/O and Type	Default Value	Description
Input Worksheet	iw	Input Worksheet	<active>	Specifies the worksheet which has the imported pClamp data. Note that this variable is hidden in the X-Function panel.
Select File to Plot	findex	Input int		Specifies the index of the pClamp file to plot. Note that this variable is hidden in the X-Function panel.
Show Tags in Graph	tag	Input int	0	Specifies whether to show the tags in the signal graph. This is available only when the imported file has tags.
Plot Stimulus Waveform	stimulur	Input int	0	Specifies whether to plot the stimulus waveform. This is available only when the imported file has stimulus waveform.
Plot Stimulus in Separate Graph	septstim	Input int	0	This variable is only available when the stimulus variable is set to 1. It specifies whether to plot the stimulus waveform in a separate graph.
Pick Value Line	pickval	Input int	1	Specifies whether to add a pick value line to the signal graph.
Axis Scrollbar	scrollbar	Input int	1	Specifies whether to add a horizontal axis scrollbar to the signal graph.
Control Panel	ctrl	Input int	1	Specifies whether to show the control panel in the signal graph.
Display Mode	mode	Input int	sweeps	Specifies the display mode of the signal graph. Option list sweeps:Sweeps All episodes are plotted within the time range of the first episode. continuous:Continuous The episodes are joined according to the start time of each episode. If there is time gap between episodes, the time gap will be perserved. concatenated:Concatenated The episodes are concatenated without considering the start time of each episode. If there is time gap between episodes, the time gap will be ignored.
Plot Settings	trsetting	Input TreeNode	<unassigned>	Use this control to select the channels and episodes to plot.
Signals Graph	plot	Output GraphPage	<new>	Specifies the signal graph. Note that this variable is hidden in the X-Function panel. See the syntax here.
Stimulus Waveform Graph	waveform	Output GraphPage	<optional>	Specifies the graph for the stimulus waveform. Note that this variable is hidden in the X-Function panel. See the syntax here.

Description

This X-Function can be used to plot pClamp data that has been imported into Origin worksheet. It is automatically opened in the X-Function panel, when the Show Control Panel for Making Plots checkbox is selected in the imppClamp X-Function dialog.

Pick values line is a special line that can be added to the signal graph. When it is not selected, it appears to be a blue vertical line. When it is selected, it becomes purple. You can move it and click the button to pick values that correspond to the current X value. The values are written to a workbook named PickedValues.

Examples

The below example shows you the difference between different display modes.

1. Create a new project.

2. Select Data: Import from File: pClamp (ABF, DAT) from the Origin menu to open the pClamp dialog. Browse to Samples\Import and Export\pCLAMP\ under Origin program folder and select 93310C08.DAT. Make sure that the Show Options Dialog checkbox is selected. Click Open. This should bring us to the imppClamp dialog.

3. Click OK to perform the importing. The plotpClamp X-Function should be rendered in the X-Function panel that is attached to the workbook with imported data.

4. Select a Display Mode, and then click the Plot button. A graph should be created for the input data.

If Sweeps is selected for Display Mode:
