mne_list_coil_def

Overview

mne_list_coil_def lists all available coil definitions from a coil definition file. It reads the file and prints a table showing each coil's type number, class (MAG, AXIAL_GRAD, PLANAR_GRAD, EEG), accuracy level, number of integration points, size, and description.

This is a C++ port of the original MNE-C tool by Matti Hämäläinen.

Usage

mne_list_coil_def [options]

Options

Option	Description
--coildef <name>	Custom coil definition file (optional; uses default coil_def.dat if omitted)
--help	Print help
--version	Print version

Example

# List coil definitions using the default file
mne_list_coil_def

# Use a custom coil definition file
mne_list_coil_def --coildef my_coil_def.dat

Example output:

Type     Class          Accuracy   NP     Size(m)    Description
-------- -------------- ---------- ------ ---------- --------------------
3012     PLANAR_GRAD    normal     8      0.0264     Vectorview type 1 planar gradiometer
3022     MAG            normal     4      0.0210     Vectorview type 1 magnetometer
