Problem with using CTF data converted with mne_ctf2fiff

Hi everyone,

I am having a problem with the conversion of raw CTF data into a .fif
file and subsequently trying to use it with other scripts (particularly
mne_do_forward_solution). I convert the data to .fif using
mne_ctf2fiff, and this appears to be successful, but when I use the
resulting .fif file in the mne_do_forward_solution calculation I get
the following error: "Did not find the desired compensation data :
unknown". It is a rather vague message so I haven't been able to
determine the problem with the data, but the calculation seems to work
when I use the sample data, so it definitely seems to be a problem with
the .fif file I generated. Does anyone know why this might be?

Thanks a lot,

Dawson

Hi Dawson,

Are you trying to calculate the forward solution using the raw data or an averaged file?
