BIOSIG is an open source software.

Description:

BIOSIG is a converter for digital biosignals such as Electro Cardiogram and Electro Encephalogram. GDF is the format that BIOSIG uses as an intermediate form for the conversions. GDF can hold information for any digital biosignal. BioSig4C++ version 0.40 or higher includes the sources for the converter.

The two-way SCP-ECG to HL7 aECG converter can be downloaded from OpenECG or BIOSIG

To run the program:

If you are using Windows you must first download and install cygwin. You can find cygwin here. Make sure to include the g++ compiler and "make" program with the installation.

Unzip and compile the sources of the converter using the command "make" (linux or cygwin).

Alternatively you may try to use the compiled binaries for linux and windows located here.

SCP-ECG samples are located here and here. HL7 aECG samples are located in the member area under other ECG formats (click on the left FDA/HL7 Annotated ECG).

To run:

• the SAVE2GDF converter (HL7aECG,GDF, SCP to GDF) type "~>make save2gdf" and then type "~>save2gdf filename gdf_filename"
• the SAVE2SCP converter (HL7aECG,GDF, SCP to SCP) type "~>make save2scp" and then type "~>save2scp filename scp_filename"
• the SAVE2AECG converter (HL7aECG,GDF, SCP to HL7aECG) type "~>make save2aec and then type "~>save2gdf filename1 gdf_filename2"

BIOSIG has been tested to work in:

1. Windows XP Pro SP2 using Cygwin v1.5.24-2, g++ v3.4.4-3 and Make v3.81.
2. Linux Kubuntu 6.10 using g++ v4.1.2 and Make v3.81.
