LoadBeatAscii: Builds an array of beats positions from an ascii file

In RHRV: Heart Rate Variability Analysis of ECG Data

Builds an array of beats positions from an ascii file

Description

Reads an ascii file with data of beat positions and stores the values in a data structure. A segment of a file can be loaded making use of the "starttime" and "endtime" arguments.

Usage

  LoadBeatAscii(HRVData, RecordName, RecordPath=".", scale = 1, starttime=NULL,
      endtime=NULL, datetime = "1/1/1900 0:0:0", verbose = NULL)

Arguments

HRVData	Data structure that stores the beats register and information related to it
RecordName	Ascii file containing the beats to be loaded
RecordPath	The path of the file
scale	1 if beat positions in seconds or 0.001 if beat positions in milliseconds
starttime	Beginning of the segment of file to load
endtime	End of the segment of file to load
datetime	Date and time (DD/MM/YYYY HH:MM:SS)
verbose	Deprecated argument maintained for compatibility, use SetVerbose() instead

Value

Loads beats positions into the structure that contains RHRV information. The file containing the heartbeats positions must be a single column file with no headers. Each line should denote the occurrence time of each heartbeat. An example of a valid file could be the following:
0
0.3280001
0.7159996
1.124
1.5
1.88
(...)
