With this week, I was able to put in dictionary information and use them in LEMS device. And I would able to get similar output as by the previous version!!
However, there were some technical difficulties to express features in Brian like
run_regularly(), particular member based initialization and other flexible ways
that make Brian very special but hard to find way to express them in NeuroML format.
At this level, I paused the refactoring nmlexport part and moved to conceptualizing
human readable export work, which is one of the prime goals of the project. And moreover,
a realtime validation to check the usability of the standard dictionary work done so far.
With the change in nmlexport package, there isn’t any changes as previous version for user, because the user will
not be aware of all the backward changes done.
