Dear mne_analysers,

first thank you for the great software. I am using the python version
(0.16.2 at mac os, with python3, anaconda3) of mne, and I have some problems
with the coregistration (command *mne coreg*). I started with a template
mri and Neuroscan EEG 3dd file for locations of the EEG electrodes and
fiducials. I did the following:
1 by some conversions, I generate an ascii file with 3 columns of data,
indicating x, y, z coordinates of the fiducials and electrodes, which was
saved with elp extension.
2 This file was readin and saved with the following two lines:
cht = mne.channels.read_dig_montage (elp='/thePath/theFile.elp',
point_names=('nasion', 'lpa', 'rpa' ,'chan1', 'chan2', 'chanN');
cht.save('/thePath/theFile.fif');
3 I start mne coreg, I load the template mri image marked with fiducials,
then load "theFile.fif".

I got the error in the last step:
   File

  File "/UserPath/anaconda3/envs/mne/lib/python3.6/subprocess.py", line
1404, in _try_wait
    (pid, sts) = os.waitpid(self.pid, wait_flags)

Do you think it is a data problem (the electrodes locations were not
correctly read and written) or some installation problem?

thanks in advance,

Peng

hi,

2 questions:
- do you have the problem only with these data?
- did you use the mne anaconda environment we recommend?

if problem persists please continue the conversation here :

Dear Alex

thanks for the reply. I haven't worked with other EEG 3-d data. More than
a year ago I worked with CTF MEG data, it seemed fine. But then there were
other versions for both MNE and python (2). I install anaconda3 and others
according to the instructions at your webpage. I will repost as you
suggested.

best
Peng
