I created an EDF file from Net Station and converted it to fif format. I then tried to view it with mne\_analyze. When I go to select the file, it is in the menu, but has no data sets, so I cannot continue. Any idea how I can make sure it has a data set? I did not include en electrode location file yet.

Thanks,  
-Jeff

Hi Jeff,

can you share your conversion script for example with :

so I can take a look.

you should be able to convert EDF with mne\_edf2fiff
