Splus experts,

I do EEG research and I use SPLUS to filter and sample my data. Up until now, I have always imported ASCII data. However, my new EEG instrument exports data as EDF (European Data Format). The first line of the EDF data file is an ASCII header that defines the data set. The rest of the file is binary data.

I have a Matlab script that will import EDF. However, I would prefer to use SPLUs for all my data processing.

I dont know much about binary formats but the Matlab script includes the line:
data = fread(fp,'int16');

I assume this means the binary is of integer type with 16 bits or bytes (I am exposing my ingnorance here).

Does anyone have a script that opens EDF files or can someone advise me how to import binary data?

Thanks

Robert
