Dear eeglablist members,

I am writing to you concerning an issue I am currently having when
importing my EEG data with the recent eeglab plugin loadcurry version
3.2.3. I acquire data with a SynAmps2 Neuroscan system, with the Curry 8
software version 8.0.6 XS-T. The new system version generates the new file
extension .cdt.cpo, along with .cdt and .cdt.ceo files. Originally, I have
a total of 790 triggers for each of my datasets. Some of the numbers I use
are unique, to distinguish each of my 148 individual sentence stimuli, and
some I use to group my stimuli by conditions so they repeat several times
along the trials. The problem is that instead, when I import the data in
Matlab, none of them are read correctly and more triggers/events are added:
4 out of 28 of my datasets contain 833 and the rest have more than 2000...
and some of them are inserted as negative values.
I checked this in the Curry 8 system of the lab I work in and the list
seems to be fine, except for 2 bad events that the system added. Moreover,
there was an issue with the system's parallel port cable: the 8 last
trigger numbers (from 247 to 255, both included) were not recognized and
"r" + digit (e.g. r6) trigger was displayed instead.

Please find an example for three of my subject datasets attached.

Do you have any idea of what the problem is could be? Do you have any
suggestions to solve/correct this problem?

Thank you very much in advance.
