Latest neuropix-PXI plugin (0.7) crashes #648
Comments

Hi @chris-angeloni, could you please confirm if you restarted your computer and performed a power cycle on the PXI chassis after updating the basestation firmware? This step is necessary to ensure that the changes take effect. Could you also share the crash log file generated during that run with the plugin version 0.7.0? It can be located in the folder |

I did restart and power cycle the chassis. Here is the crash log: |

Thanks for confirming and sending the crash log. Unfortunately, it doesn’t provide much information about the cause of the crash. Did you attempt to add the Neuropix-PXI plugin version 0.7 into the signal chain again after it crashed the first time? Does it crash every time you try to use it? If so, could you please copy and past the contents of the console here after the GUI crashes? This information might provide more details about the location of the crash during the plugin initialization process. |
|
Yes it has been crashing every time I try to use it, I'll try to get the console output for you today. |
|
Unfortunately the console output does not seem to be very useful. edit: this was after a fresh install of the GUI

That's strange. It might be an issue with the DLL files. Could you please check if the latest Neuropixels library DLLs are installed? Navigate to If they're already there, try this:
Let me know if that resolves the issue. |

It is still crashing after the suggestions you just posted. Here is the console output and crash log (they are identical to before as far as I can tell):

Thank you for going through the debugging steps with me. This is the first time we're encountering this crash, so we want to ensure everything is in order. If you have some time, the last thing to try is to compile the GUI and the Neuropix-PXI plugin locally in debug mode and run it from Visual Studio. This process should pinpoint exactly what's happening and won't interfere with the existing installation of the GUI on your system. If you're up for it, here are the instructions: You can find the source code for the Neuropixels plugin here: Neuropixels-PXI GitHub repository. Please use the code from the Let me know if you get stuck or need help with anything I mentioned above. Debugging it will also be helpful for us in case we need to fix something in the code or if we encounter a similar bug in the future. |

Hi Anjal, thanks for your help. I will try to compile from source sometime this week or next and let you know how it goes. |

I recently updated the GUI to the most recent version (0.6.7), upgraded the firmware for the neuropixels basestation and card, and upgraded the Neuropix-PXI plugin to 0.7 (the following screenshot was taken using a downgraded version of the plugin to verify the firmware versions):
However, I cannot get the latest version of the plugin to run. Immediately upon adding it to the signal chain the GUI crashes. Downgrading to the 0.6.6 version of the plugin gets rid of this behavior, and probe signals look normal.
Any help is appreciated!
