Electrocardiograph Reader for Linux.
Most electrocardiogram programs require the use of a special Data Aquisition card. QEcg is a program to interpret an electrocardiogram through the sound card on a Linux computer. The program displays the ECG and calculates the heart rate. This program can be used with an ECG simulator or even a real ECG ( although the ECG will need to be amplified using a circuit such as that described here or here [local copy] ). Just connect the ECG output to the sound card and run the program. It only works under Linux.
This software was ported from the original Windows version described here or here [local copy].
Program requirements:
- Qt version 3.x or most recent version.
- A recent version of the gcc compiler.
- 8 bit minimum soundcard
– Linux
