How to create a channel map for a microwire array electrode?

[li1901]

My electrode is a 32-channel microwire array electrode, with the electrode site at the bottom end of each wire. I currently have two ideas: one is to use generate_multi_columns_probe. The other is to use generate_multi_shank, with only one site on each shank, but for generate_multi_shank I've only seen horizontally distributed multiple shanks and not a combination of horizontal and vertical distribution.

Hi,
one way to create a probe from scratch is to use an excel, then read it with pandas and then create the probe using
Probe.from_dataframe()

Usin this approach is simpler for custum probes than using internal probe generator.
