function varargout=tach(varargin)
[hr]=tach(recordName,annotator,N,N0,ouputSize)
Wrapper to WFDB TACH:
http://www.physionet.org/physiotools/wag/tach-1.htm
Reads a WFDB record and Annotation file to return:
hr
Nx1 vector of doubles representing a uniformly sampled and
smoothed instantaneous heart rate signal. The output are samples
of the instantaneous heart rate signal in units of beats per minute.
Required Parameters:
recorName
String specifying the name of the record in the WFDB path or
in the current directory.
annotator -
String specifying the name of the annotation file in the WFDB path or
in the current directory.
Optional Parameters are:
N
A 1x1 integer specifying the sample number at which to stop reading the
annotation file (default read all = N).
N0
A 1x1 integer specifying the sample number at which to start reading the
annotation file (default 1 = begining of the record).
outputSize
A 1x1 integer specifying the number of output samples (ie estimated
heart rate intervals) such that the output 'hr' is a vector of
size (outputSize-1) x 1.
