PhysioNet_ECG_Exporter: Reads two-signal format 212 PhysioBank and similar
signal files, using code from ../rddata.m, and exports the signals into a .MAT
file so they can be used with various signal processing toolboxes.

PhysioNet_ECG_Text_Exporter: Reads text files generated by the rdsamp-O-Matic
(http://physionet.org/cgi-bin/rdsamp/) or rdsamp, and exports the first two
signals into a .MAT file, as for PhysioNet_ECG_Exporter.

PhysioNet_ECG_Plot: Reads a .MAT file generated by either of the exporters
above, and and displays its contents.

PhysioNet_ECG_Exporter can handle most of the two-signal recordings available
in PhysioBank, because (with few exceptions) these are written in format 212.
If you wish to convert a signal file that is not in format 212, or that
contains 3 or more signals (or only one signal), use rdsamp or the
rdsamp-O-Matic to create a text file that can be converted by
PhysioNet_ECG_Text_Exporter.  Modify PhysioNet_ECG_Text_Exporter.m as
needed if your record does not contain exactly two signals.

See http://www.physionet.org/physiotools/matlab/#wfdb for several other
software packages that can be used to read and write PhysioBank and compatible
data using Matlab.
