-The file extension "RAS" is used for spiking data files created by the [[SpikeMonitor]]. The format is a space separated list containing "time  neuronnumber" pairs:+====== ras file format definition ====== 
 + 
 +The ras file format is a human readable ASCII file format to encode spiking activity from a population of numbered neurons. The format is a space separated list containing "time  neuronnumber" pairs, of which time is given in seconds and the neuron id is given as integer:

 +The neuron number refers to the [[NeuronID]] within a [[SpikingGroup]]. The suggested file extension "ras" and as it is used for created by the [[SpikeMonitor]]. 
  
-Time is as usual given in units of seconds. The neuron number refers to the [[NeuronID]] within a [[SpikingGroup]]. +===== Merging ras files from multiple ranks =====
  
-When running in parallel you will often encounter having to merge the ras files from multiple ranks (e.g. output.X.ras). This can be done efficiently using linux ''sort'' program+When [[parallel execution|running in parallel]] you will often encounter having to merge the ras files from multiple ranks (e.g. output.X.ras).
