I have a couple of questions: What national instruments are
you using? What are the characteristics of the signal you are acquire (i.e.
frequency, amplitude, etc.)? What type of analysis are you doing? Why Visual
Basic and not LabVIEW where we have a lot of pre-built functions for analysis? The more you elaborate the easier for me to help you. I will wait for your answers.
If that is the card you are going to be using the yes,
creating the analysis will easy or difficult as how many tools you have
available, you can either built the functions yourself from scratch or use the <a href="http://www.ni.com/mstudio/ltb_vb_net.htm" target="_blank">NI measurement Studio VB .NET</a>.
I?m not an expert on ECG, but since the
waveform is suppose to represent heartbeats I?m guessing that the frequency components
are going to be between the bandwidth of the 6023E, 250 K samples per second. <a href="http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/735848148B5B4964862571F5004692C7?OpenDocument" target="_blank">NI-DAQmx
