Desktop Software for Patch-Clamp Raw Binary Data Conversion and Preprocessing. Journal of Electrical and Computer Engineering, 2011, Article ID 251215.doi:10.1155/2011/251215http://hdl.handle.net/10625/51230http://www.hindawi.com/journals/jece/2011/251215/Via a graphical user interface, raw binary data files can be converted into several kinds of ASCII text files for further analysis, with several pre-processing options. The parameters can also be viewed, modified and exported into ASCII files by a user-friendly Explorer style window. In this study, the desktop software, called PCDReader along with a novel class module, called clsPulseData, directly reads raw data along with the parameters recorded from HEKA instruments without any other program support. The real-time data loading technique and optimized memory management programming makes PCDReader a fast and efficient tool.Text1 digital file (7 p. : ill.)application/pdfenELECTROPHYSIOLOGYDATA PROCESSINGSOFTWAREDATA CONVERSION ROUTINESJournal Article (peer-reviewed)
