Setting an offset of an sampled dimesions

[wendtalexander]

So I run into this problem if I want to convert a NIX file to a neo object that the Neo implementation expects an offset in the sampled_dimension for the package quantity to function properly.

This breaks even if you set the offset = 0 in the DataArray.append_sampled_dimension method. It does not add an offset because of this check

if offset:
    smpldim.offset = offset

my solution for this problem is simply set the default offset value from None to 0 and remove the check.

Hi @wendtalexander Is the code snippet from the mapping of nix to neo files in your code or on the package side?

how about?

if offset:
    smpldim.offset = offset
else:
    smpldim.offset = 0.0

Hey @jgrewe its on the package side, here a link to the source code.

nixpy/nixio/data_array.py

Line 123 in 5e5ec01

if offset:

This works for me!
