Research direction

Start with the coordinate-convention question in the issue and review the probe interface documentation for how AP, ML/TL, and DV map to probe axes. Done should be a clear, project-appropriate explanation of converting histological electrode positions into a probe, including the depth-axis convention.

Description

Hello, I'm relatively new to sorting data, and I'm currently working on creating probes for analyzing my data. The records consist of four groups of four single electrodes (not tetrodes). Their positions are obtained through histological analysis, which provides the Anteroposterior (AP), Dorsoventral (DV), and Temporolateral (TL) stereotactic coordinates in millimeters. How can I convert these positions into probes?
As a preliminary step, I attempted to map AP to x, ML to y, and DV to z, but I notice that the probe interface uses Y as the depth (DV axis)
