[NEST Users] Re: log data into data_path

Hi Benedikt! Data is normally stored to the current working directory from which you call NEST. If data is saved or not depends on the recording backend you specify for your recording devices. The default backend "memory" just keeps the data in memory, while "ascii" would write files. Hope this clarifies things. For more information, see https://nest-simulator.readthedocs.io/en/latest/guides/record_from_simulati… Cheers, Jochen!

If I do not specify a path, where does data get saved, or is it not saved to file if I do not specify 'data_path'? Thanks!
