    Area of Science:

    • Physiology
    • Computer Science
    • Biomedical Engineering

    Background:

    • Isolated cardiac muscle experiments require precise control and data analysis.
    • Existing control systems may lack flexibility for evolving research protocols.
    • Programming expertise can be a barrier for researchers in experimental biology.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a novel application language for controlling and analyzing isolated cardiac muscle experiments.
    • To introduce STOIC (derived from FORTH) as an extensible language for this purpose.
    • To highlight the language's ease of use and adaptability in research settings.

    Main Methods:

    • The application language is defined using STOIC, an extensible language based on FORTH.
    • STOIC utilizes a system of basic operations called 'words'.

  • Higher-level words are formed by combining basic words for complex operations.

    • Main Results:

    • The developed application language effectively controls and analyzes isolated cardiac muscle experiments.
    • STOIC leverages system hardware capabilities for optimal performance.
    • The language is accessible to users with limited programming experience.

    Conclusions:

    • STOIC provides a flexible and user-friendly solution for isolated cardiac muscle research.
    • The extensible nature of STOIC allows for adaptation to changing experimental protocols.
    • This application language enhances the efficiency and accessibility of cardiac muscle research.
