Stream Pre-Recorded Data

Follow these steps to playback recorded data through the MNE Rt Server to MNE Scan.

• Navigate to the FiffSimulation.cfg file in your MNE-CPP install directory, e.g., mne-cpp\bin\resources\mne_rt_server_plugins\FiffSimulation.cfg.
• Open the FiffSimulation.cfg with a text editor and insert the path and file name of the fif file which you want to stream. For example: simFile = ./MNE-sample-data/MEG/sample/ernoise_raw.fif
• Save and close the FiffSimulation.cfg file
• Start the mne_rt_server mne-cpp\bin\mne_rt_server
• Start MNE Scan mne-cpp\bin\mne_scan
• Select the FiffSimulator plug-in and place it on the plug-in scene. Make sure to delete all other plug-ins on the stage.

• Click on the FiffSimulator plug-in and select the Connection tab. If you have started the mne_rt_server on your local machine, use IP 127.0.0.1 and press Connect. The status should change to Connected.
• Click on the FiffSimulator plug-in and select the Preferences tab. We recommend to use the same block size as the sampling frequency. This way the data will be refreshed every second. 

• Press the green play button in the left upper corner.

• If you click on the FiffSimulator plug-in you should now see the real-time data display.
