[nengo-user] obtaining encoders and decoders used by Ensemble / Connection in Nengo2?

[Aditya Gilra]

Hi,
I've just started using Nengo (version 2). I would like to know the encoders and decoders used by Nengo2 as below. Or construct them with a utility function.
1) How can I access the encoders, intercepts and max_rates instantiated in an Ensemble? These are not in the probeable list. And in any case, I would like to access them before the simulation is run.
When I construct and set encoders using  UniformHypersphere( surface=True ), and similarly ensembles and maxrates using Uniform(), as per the Ensemble defaults, the variables represented by the population are not as smooth as when Nengo instantiates the encoders itself. How do I know what Nengo used?
2) How can I access the decoders and synaptic weights learnt/instantiated in a Connection given a transformation / function? decoders are in probeable, but ideally I'd like to know them while constructing my network, not after the simulation. Or maybe there's a utility function I can call that returns these without actually making a Connection.
Thanks,Aditya.
