			9405: first working version of NeusenW4 source module

	==Functional Description==		==Functional Description==
	This Source module allows BCI2000 to receive electrophysiological data from one single NeuSenW device.		This Source module allows BCI2000 to receive electrophysiological data from one single NeuSenW device.
	It requires the ~~(obsolete)~~ version 3 of the Neuracle API.		It requires the version 4 of the Neuracle API.

	==Known Issues==		==Known Issues==
	~~This module requires~~ the ~~VS2012 C++ runtime~~ to ~~be installed (https://www~~.~~microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30679). If the runtime~~ is ~~not installed, you will get an error for~~ a ~~missing DLL!~~		With the NeusenW4 API, it is not possible to achieve a sample block duration less than 100ms. This is a limitation of the API and cannot be improved upon on the BCI2000 side.

	~~The Neuracle~~ API ~~Version 3 is now obsolete,~~ and ~~has been replaced with Version 4~~.

	==Parameters==		==Parameters==
	===SourceCh===		===SourceCh===
	~~Define~~ the number of signal channels to be acquired from the NeusenW device given the constraints. Only certain ~~channel~~ numbers are supported for specific sampling ~~rate~~ defined by SamplingRate. When ~~the~~ SamplingRate is not bigger than 1000 Hz (250 Hz/500 Hz/1000 Hz), there is no limit to this parameter. When ~~the~~ SamplingRate is 2000 Hz, SourceCh cannot be bigger than 32. When ~~the~~ SamplingRate is 4000 Hz, the maximum of SourceCh is 16. When ~~the~~ SamplingRate is 8000 Hz, the maximum of SourceCh is 8. When ~~the~~ SamplingRate is 16000 Hz, the maximum of SourceCh is 4. ~~This~~ parameter ~~does not support~~ the ~~“auto” setting~~.		Defines the number of signal channels to be acquired from the NeusenW device given the following constraints. Only certain numbers of channels are supported for specific sampling rates defined by ''SamplingRate''.

			When ''SamplingRate'' is not bigger than 1000 Hz (250 Hz/500 Hz/1000 Hz), there is no limit to this parameter. When ''SamplingRate'' is 2000 Hz, ''SourceCh '' cannot be bigger than 32. When ''SamplingRate'' is 4000 Hz, the maximum of ''SourceCh'' is 16. When ''SamplingRate'' is 8000 Hz, the maximum of ''SourceCh'' is 8. When ''SamplingRate'' is 16000 Hz, the maximum of ''SourceCh'' is 4.

			If this parameter is set to "auto", it will automatically be set to the number of available amplifier channels, as is suitable for ''SamplingRate'' settings up to, and including, 1000 Hz.

	===SampleBlockSize===		===SampleBlockSize===
	~~Depending on the system configuration (Neuracle~~'~~s triggerbox enabled/disabled, wired vs. wireless connection)~~, data ~~acquisition may not~~ be ~~stable, and data loss may occur, when SampleBlockSize is less than 40 ms (i.e., 40 at 1000 Hz sampling rate). This parameter does not support the “auto” setting~~.		The NeusenW4 API does not support data blocks below 100ms. If you set ''SampleBlockSize'' to "auto", a data block duration of 100ms will be chosen.

	===SamplingRate===		===SamplingRate===
	The NeusenW device supports 7 different sampling rates: 250 Hz, 500 Hz, 1000 Hz, 2000 Hz, 4000 Hz, 8000 Hz, and 16000 Hz. This parameter may limit the value of SourceCh as described above. ~~This parameter does not support the “auto” setting~~.		The NeusenW device supports 7 different sampling rates: 250 Hz, 500 Hz, 1000 Hz, 2000 Hz, 4000 Hz, 8000 Hz, and 16000 Hz. This parameter may limit the value of SourceCh as described above. When set to "auto", a sampling rate of 1000 Hz will be chosen.

	===SourceChGain===		===SourceChGain===
	Use 'auto~~', or a list of SourceCh numbers of 1~~.		Use "auto" to have the correct values filled in by the source module.

	===SourceChOffset===		===SourceChOffset===
	Use 'auto', or a list of SourceCh ~~numbers of 0~~.		Use "auto", or a list of length ''SourceCh'' with all zero entries.

			===ChannelNames===
			When set to "auto", channel names will be filled in automatically.
			If ''SourceCh'' is set to 64, EEG 10-20 electrode names from the Neuracle cap will be used.
			Otherwise, generic channel names indicating the sensor type and number will be created.
