Sets the datarecord duration.

Calling Sequence

edf_set_record_duration(edf_handle,duration)

Parameters

edf_handle:

integer containing file handle of the opened bdf/edf-file

duration:

The default value is 1 second. The datarecord duration must be in the range 0.05 to 20.0 seconds.

Description

Sets the datarecord duration. The default value is 1 second.

This function is optional, normally you don't need to change the default value. The datarecord duration must be in the range 0.05 to 20.0 seconds. Returns 0 on success, otherwise -1.

This function is NOT REQUIRED but can be called after opening a file in writemode and before the first sample write action. This function can be used when you want to use a samplerate which is not an integer. For example, if you want to use a samplerate of 0.5 Hz, set the samplefrequency to 5 Hz and the datarecord duration to 10 seconds. Do not use this function, except when absolutely necessary!

Examples

edf_set_record_duration(edf_handle, 0.5);
