Can Myosotic SignaPoint work with audio signals?

Myosotic SignaPoint can analyze audio signals as seamlessly as it analyzes biological signals. The audio signals should first be converted to ASCII format recognizable by SignaPoint.

Please type the following commands in a MATLAB environment in order to convert .WAV audio format into comma-delimited ASCII format.

[y,Fs,bits] = wavread('Source.WAV');
dlmwrite('Converted.csv', y, ',');



where Source.WAV is the file-path of the original audio file and Converted.csv is the file-path of the converted ASCII file. You should specify the scan frequency value stored in Fs as the scan frequency of the converted file when opening it with Myosotic SignaPoint.

  Can Myosotic SignaPoint work with MATLAB signals?

Myosotic SignaPoint can analyze MATLAB signals as well. The MATLAB signals should first be converted to ASCII format recognizable by SignaPoint.

Please type the following commands in a MATLAB environment in order to convert .MAT MATLAB format into comma-delimited ASCII format.

y = load ('Source.mat');
dlmwrite('Converted.csv', y, ',');



where Source.mat is the file-path of the original MATLAB file and Converted.csv is the file-path of the converted ASCII file and 'y' is the name of the variable present in the MATLAB file.

  Why can't I open any signals after startup?

Known Issue 1
Please ensure that you have the latest MDAC drivers installed on your computer. These Microsoft drivers are available for free download  here.

Known Issue 2
The data in the ASCII file needs to be in the following format: Signal1Value delimiter Signal2Value delimiter Signal3Value delimiter etc. Please ensure that the delimiters used are uniform and that the only characters present are the signal data and the uniform delimiters.

Known Issue 3
Please ensure that the Regional and Language Settings of your computer are designated as English (United States) in both the Regional Options and the Advanced tabs.

  Why can't I view a Power Spectrum signal?

Original signals and Power Spectrum processed signals can't coexist on the same Workspace. The Power Spectrum function displays the power spectrum processed signals in a new "frequency-domain" Workspace. If the Power Spectrum Workspace is closed the Power Spectrum signals can't be displayed.  Simply run the Power Spectrum analysis again in order to view the Power Spectrum signals.

  Why can't I see the entire information panel below the Workspace?

Please change the resolution of your screen display to more than 1152 by 864 pixels. You may change the resolution by going to Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> Display ->  Settings  -> Screen Resolution.
Alternatively, you may select View -> Uncheck the Signals List from the command menu; the entire signals list will disappear as a result. The horizontal information panel below the Workspace will become entirely visible regardless of the chosen resolution. If you would like to view the list of signals, you may follow the same steps in order to make the list visible again.
