Hi Benedikt! You can just set the n_events property of the recorder to 0. That will clear the stored events when recording to memory or just reset the counter when recording to ASCII. The relevant documentation (for master, aka NEST 3.0) is in the guide on recording from simulations<https://nest-simulator.readthedocs.io/en/latest/guides/recording_from_simulations.html>.

In order to keep this procedure efficient and memory efficient, is it possible to reset the spikeDetector (delete all events)? Thanks in advance!
