A Windows computer application for long term data acquisition, storage and presentation of biological signals

We developed a windows application dedicated to recording, displaying and storing large amounts of biological signals on a standard PC. The application works in Matlab and uses an A/D-converter interface that enables a user to run the same software for signal acquisition, display and processing with different A/D-converter boards. The software program consists of three integrated modules, for setting the protocol for signal acquisition; for commands that can be accessed during data acquisition and for software routines that enable off-line viewing, pre-processing and processing of recorded data. It adapts to different computer hardware configurations by enabling the user to define file size, data resolution and file storage on local and network hard disks during signal acquisition.
