Name:

    weight_recorder - Device for detecting single spikes.

Description:

      The weight_recorder device is a recording device. It is used to record
      weights from synapses. Data is recorded in memory or to file as for all
      RecordingDevices.
      By default, source GID, target GID, time and weight of each spike is recorded.

      In order to record only from a subset of connected synapses, the
      weight_recorder accepts the parameters 'senders' and 'targets', with which the
      recorded data is limited to the synapses with the corresponding source or target
      gid.

      The weight recorder can also record weights with full precision
      from neurons emitting precisely timed spikes. Set /precise_times to
      achieve this.

      Data is not necessarily written to file in chronological order.
