Dear NEST users,

I am trying to debug my network and I found that my spike_recorder with ascii option isn't working as expected.

I am simulating a network for a few milliseconds (say 1000. ms) and then do some structure changes and then re-run for another phase of a few ms (say 4000. ms)

In the compact version, I am trying to see how this sample code would work.

import nest
nest.ResetKernel()
nest.SetKernelStatus({
"overwrite_files": True,
"data_path": './Debug-Log',
"data_prefix": 'DEBUG-SPIKE-REC',
})
noise_device = nest.Create("poisson_generator",params={'start': 0.,'rate' : 100.})
sd_params = {
"record_to": 'ascii',
"label": "Input_spike_recorder"
}
Input_SD = nest.Create("spike_recorder",1, params=sd_params)
nest.Connect(noise_device,Input_SD)
nest.Simulate(100.)

# do something here

nest.Simulate(100.)

Issue: I only get the data recorded from 100th millisecond but for memory, I get all the data from 0-200 ms.

This behavior is consistent for both overwrite_files as True and False.

In the previous version (v2.20) I also used the same approach and had no issues. Is there a newer way to do such a simulation paradigm?

I didn't find anything on this on the comparison page of NESTv2.x and NESTv3.x

Am I missing something? It's really important for my work, I hope I could find a solution.

Thanks and Regards

Maryada
