LabChart (formerly known as Chart) is a data acquisition software package produced by ADInstruments. LabChart functions like a traditional multi-channel chart recorder, X-Y plotter, polygraph and digital voltmeter. The software records up to 16 data channels and 32 analysis channels in a single file on computer hard disks. Some data sources can also be controlled using the software. The collected data can be either presented in real-time, i.e. while it is being recorded, or it can be played back later for offline analysis. On screen, that data is presented in a manner that resembles the output of a paper chart recorder, for example as an electrocardiogram or a peristimulus time histogram. The application can be automated with macros, and runs on either Microsoft Windows and Apple Macintosh systems. LabChart consists of several modules for interpreting data. These assist * the analysis of cardiovascular parameters from arterial or ventricular pressure signals. * calculations of cardiac output from thermodilution curve. * pre-experiment determination of optimal pretension of muscles. * analysis of dose response type data. * detection of PQRST onset, amplitude and interval times in electrocardiograms. * the measure of the beat-to-beat variations in heart rate. * the discrimination of extracellular . Labchart also has the capability to synchronize a video feed with acquired data.
