"Times New Roman",serif">I am new to using FieldTrip, but am well versed in Matlab. I would like to use FieldTrip to analyze Plexon data from LFP recordings and am working with
the .pl2 format. I have read through the current documentation (very short) about the patch for loading .pl2 files, but I still have no idea how to install and use the patch as this is not documented (that I can find). The following is provided but with no
explanation of how to implement it:<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family:
"Times New Roman",serif">I have download the .diff patch file as well as the .zip folder “ft_plexon” but I don’t know where to put them. Does the “plexon” folder inside go in the
main FieldTrip directory, the main Plexon SDK directory (currently listed above), or somewhere else? The same question applies to the .diff file.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family:
"Times New Roman",serif">Thank you in advance for your assistance. Once I get FieldTrip figured out, I intend to create a thorough, novice-friendly tutorial with step-by-step instructions
how to work with .pl2 files for LFP analysis. I’ve spent the better part a week fumbling through the tutorials and I’m certain I can write a novice-friendly tutorial on the wiki that will only take a few hours at most for beginners to master. My goal is first
to understand how to utilize FieldTrip, at which point I can document my struggles and successes so that future users (especially my lab-mates) can obtain competency with far more efficiency. </span></p>
