European Data Format EDF file component

Hi Ben

European Data Format (EDF) is a standard file format designed for exchange and storage of medical time series data.

To write signals (data) in a wave file is easy to use in flowcode.
The signal can then be viewed and edited later with an audio editor. Most of them are free or for a good price available.

The signals in medicine are very similar to WAV file, these are called EDF files.
The programs for opening an view are EDF-Viewer or EDF-Broser and are mostly freeware but there are some EDF-Explorer very expensive.

At the moment I can record in a small device on a sd-card (with PIC32) medical time series data as RAW file and import them in the APP developer. I can also send the data by bluetooth to the APP developer and show it on the screen. Soon it will work by wifi too.

What is a little problem is save the data as edf file.
So I checked the EDF File construction.
In the edf file, there is a file header and then data similar to wave file.

My question to you:
Would an efd file component be possible in the app developer or even as embeded component ?

regards

Stefan
