UltraVox XT 3

Background information

Ultravox XT is software for analysis of ultrasound emitted by rodents and other animals. EthoVision XT can import Ultravox XT files (ETX) using a specific import profile.

The following picture shows an example of an ETX file for EthoVision XT 11 and later. The first column contains the time stamps in milliseconds. The other columns show 0 (not a call start) or 1 (call start time). The 0 in the row following a 1 marks the end of that call. Each column represents a call category (call name, or call name*pattern label). Note that the time stamps are not equidistant.

 

The UltraVox XT 3 import profile

The following figure shows an example of the Import Profile Definition window in EthoVision XT for the import profile of Ultravox XT 3.

In the Data definition section, the cells under Data Set Name contain the information read from the Header section (the corresponding cells in the Header section are grayed out). The cells in the Type column contain the call types and the green cells in the Data Set section contain the data sets.
