Software for use with recordings of physiologic signals

# Software for viewing, analyzing, and creating recordings of physiologic signals

- PhysioNet
  Freely downloadable databases of ECGs and other physiologic signals, and related software. This is the source for the software described in the guides listed below.
- WFDB Programmer's Guide
  Includes tutorial and reference material relating to the WFDB (Waveform Database) library, a portable set of functions (subroutines) for reading and writing files in the formats supported by the applications described in the two guides listed below. The WFDB library may be used with C, C++, or Fortran programs; this guide primarily describes the C interface.
- WFDB Applications Guide
  Includes `man` pages for the applications included in the WFDB Software Package, and specifications for file formats supported by the WFDB library. Detailed installation instructions for the WFDB Software Package are included in an appendix, and a second appendix discusses how the performance of ECG analyzers can be formally evaluated using standard reference databases and the standard evaluation tools included in the WFDB Software Package.
- WAVE User's Guide
  A comprehensive tutorial, with extensive reference material, for WAVE, an interactive waveform browser with facilities for annotation editing and control of external analysis programs. WAVE runs on PCs under the free Linux operating system, and on SPARC-based systems under SunOS or Solaris.
