Simulate with Insite¶
Note
Simulations with Insite need to be run with the Insite docker images nest-module and access-node. The best method is to use Docker Compose, which also deploys NEST Desktop and Insite. For more information, please read the deployment guide of Insite.
Check if Insite is running¶
Enable simulation with Insite¶
Script code for simulation with Insite¶
The Insite module has to be loaded into the NEST kernel. Preferentially load the insitemodule
after importing NEST:
nest.Install('insitemodule')
Next, check wether the parameter record_to of any recording device (e.g. spike recorder
, multimeter
or
voltmeter
) has to be modified:
...
recorder.set({"record_to": "insite"})
...
Now, the Insite recording module collects activity events from the recording devices in the NEST Simulator. NEST Desktop
receives activity from the Insite access node on another port (default: 52056
).
