ECG Analysis

A copy of AcqKnowledge software is included with each MP System; it can also be purchased separately.

AcqKnowledge is an interactive, intuitive program that lets you instantly view, measure, and analyze ECG data. Perform complex data acquisition, stimulation, triggering and analyses using simple pull-down menus and dialogs—no need to learn a programming language or new protocol. Online analysis settings, filters and transformations provide real-time feedback, or you can choose from a wide variety of off-line analysis tools. Multiple display options are available during and after acquisition—just click on an icon to flip between Chart, Scope, XY, Histogram or FFT. The software also includes quality presentation capabilities.
