Using a Macro in LabChart to calculate RR intervals and Heart Rate Variability (HRV)

TL;DR

Learn how to automate repetitive data analysis tasks using macros in Lab Chart.

Transcript

hello this is a quick demonstration of how to use a macro in lab chart in order to automate what would be a rather laborious repetitive job for instance here I've got an ECG recording and the ECG recording is around 10 minutes long it's recorded on a subject Lim Le to at rest and you can see we've got a a lot of pqrst complexes here um let's ask a ...
