Dear all,
I am currently doing an ECG QRS feature extraction project. I have a problem loading the .dat file in the sample code. An error saying as below :
??? Error using ==> load
Number of columns on line 1 of ASCII file C:\Users\Heng\Documents\MATLAB\aami3a.dat
must be the same as previous lines.
Line error:
Error in ==> qrs_detect_0403 at 3
x1 =load('aami3a.dat'); % load the ECG signal from the file.
Can someone please help me to identify the problem? Your help is much appreciated. Thank you.
Regards,
Heng

hi wayne, the .dat file is a nonstationary ECG signal, i got this signal from the pyhsionet ECG database. It is not a file just with number.

Hi there , i am also suffering with same problem. I am working on a project which required MIT BIH ECG database which is in dat format. Can any body explain how to open that file in matlab?

load() is not suitable for .dat files. load() is only suitable for MATLAB binary .mat files, and for text files created with MATLAB's save -ASCII option.
The file extension .dat is used for any data file format, and can be binary or text based or some mix, and there is absolutely no standard about what a .dat file should look like.
If you describe the format of your .dat file, someone might be able to suggest a routine to read in the data.

hi Walter, thanks for the tip. I actually downloaded the sample code from this site to test out. http://matlabz.blogspot.com/2011/04/contents-cancellation-dc-drift-and.html
From the code, it loads the .dat file and it works.
Regards,
Heng

If you look here
http://www.physionet.org/physiotools/matlab/#reading-and-writing-physiobank-and-compatible-data
You can find links for MATLAB code for reading physionet files.

Looking at those pages, it appears the .dat files are usually in a binary format.
There are references on those pages to programs that can convert physionet files to .mat files.
