biosignalsplux Sensor Sample Signals

Find below a series of sample signals acquired with the biosignalsplux sensors and the OpenSignals software.

Download the .ZIP files containing sample data provided in .TXT, .H5/.HDF5, and .EDF file formats to open them in your OpenSignals software or any other compatible third-party software.

Alternatively, use the OpenSignals Live (OS Live ) feature to display the sample signal in your Google Chrome browser.

Sensor Sample Signals

biosignalsplux SensorSample Signal

How to open the Sample Signals in OpenSignals

You can find detailed step-by-step instructions in the following article:

Information About the File Formats

.TXT & .TXT (RAW)

Text files are the standard format to store OpenSignals data. By default, the data is stored in a .TXT file containing the raw, digital sensor data with values ranging between 0 and (2n-1), with n being the signal resolution set for the acquisition (8-bit or 16-bit). These files are listed above as .TXT (Raw).

The converted sensor data – the data in each sensor’s correct physical units – is stored in an additional .TXT-file with an “_converted” appendix to its name. These files are listed above as .TXT only.

Find out more about the .TXT file content and structure and its .CSV compatibilities in the following article:

[Support Article] OpenSignals Sensor File Specifications (.TXT Format)

.H5/.HDF5 – Hirarchical Data Format

The .H5/.HDF5 file format is a data format developed by the The HDF Group and is a data format designed to store large amounts of n-dimensional datasets and all relevant metadata in a single file. This is the primary format used by OpenSignals to read and store raw and processed sensor data.

.EDF – European Data Format

The European Data Format (EDF) is a simple and flexible format for exchange and storage of multichannel biological and physical signals. This format a commonly supported data format in a variety of biosignal processing software solutions and can be used to facilate the export of OpenSignals data with third-party solutions.
