• Saved channel configurations from version 5 are no longer compatible with version 6.

• Data is exclusively saved in HDF5 files .doric extension format (.csv and .tiff format from version 5 are no longer available). HDF5 files can be read with Matlab, Octave, and Python. Code examples are provided to facilitate data analysis with those external applications, .

• Seamlessly integrate behaviour data with in vivo neural recordings;

• Compatible with Doric’s new data analysis software, DANSE (COMING SOON);

1. If you have a data analysis pipeline that requires a .csv file and a large number of configuration files that would be time-consuming to recreate → Downgrade to version 5 in section 3.

2. Else → Upgrade to version 6 in section 2.

However, if a previous version of DNS is already installed on the computer, see section 2.3 for instructions on up-

grading to the newest version. If you do not know which version is currently installed, see section 2.2 for instructions

We recommend installing both:

software from our webpage. See Table 4.1 and 4.2 for computer requirements.

2. Select the language to use during the installation.

• Select Device Driver for all GigE cameras to install the drivers for Ethernet cameras (Fig. 2.2).

Click Next once the selection is done.

Note: If you have selected the installation of Doric Maintenance Tool and/or the installation of another driver, their installation will start the first installation and will be covered in the next sections.

When the installation is done, the message in figure 2.3 will pop up.

If Doric Maintenance Tool was checked marked during the DNS setup (as in Fig. 2.2), the Doric Maintenance Tool instal-lation should begin automatically once the Doric Neuroscience Studio setup is done. Skip to step 1, below for further installation instructions.

If you need to install Doric Maintenance Tools manually, you can find a link to download it . Select the icon in the Download column (Fig. 2.4) and a .exe file should pop up at the bottom, left of the windo. 2.5). Double-click on the .exe file to launch the setup of the software (Fig. 2.5).

1. Select the language to use during the installation.

Note: If a previous version of Doric Maintenance Tool is already installed, the software will ask to uninstall the previous version before installing the new one (see section 2.3).
