Stream signals ?

Hi Josh.
Do you plan to implement a stream for continuous signals here ?

For the realtime tridesclous I did this but the chain is over complicated :

• compile a patched version of "PythonPlugin"
• compile a cython code that broadcast continuous stream with "pyacq" appoach.
• receive the stream and real time sort it

Having a way to receive directly the signals stream would be super cool.

And even more : a way to send back a "spike stream" without waveform.

There are a few existing solutions for streaming data out of Open Ephys, such as the ZMQInterface, LabStreamingLayer Outlet, and the RiverOutput. We plan to use this repository to standardize and centralize the code for interfacing with these streams, but we don't have a timeline for when that will be ready.
