LabScribe Data Acquisition and Analysis Software
LabScribe is a powerful recording and analysis software package developed by iWorx. LabScribe has an intuitive, user-friendly interface for setting up acquisition screens, calibrating signals and analyzing data. Up to 128 channels of data can be displayed simultaneously at sampling rates as high as 100,000 samples/second.

Easy Calibration of Data
Easily convert into physical units such as grams, mmHg, PSI, etc. Simple 2 point calibration to complex multipoint non-linear calibration available.
Chart and Scope Mode
Record data continuously using Chart mode, or as sweeps using the Scope mode.
Preset Settings and Protocols
Settings files can be created for different experimental protocols. The number of input channels, calibration parameters, graph settings, computed channels, views and analysis protocols are all saved to a settings file.
Import and apply settings from one file to another. This allows the user to apply the same settings to a set of data files that were recorded.
Built-In Stimulator
LabScribe supports various pacing and stimulation protocols with a built-in stimulator interface which allows delivery of a single, continuous, or train of pulses. Pulse durations, frequencies and amplitudes can be changed as the protocol is being delivered.
Various protocols such as Pulse, Train, Step, S1-S2-S3, Sine wave, Square wave, Constant and Custom Time-Voltage are available.
Digital Inputs and Outputs
The software offers full control of digital I/O lines that can be used to count events, or control devices in the lab environment.
Marks
Mark data during an experiment with free-form text notes. These marks are searchable and appear in the field of data to which they apply. Marks are time locked to the record and can be used to “Go To” any marked region of the data. Marks can be preset and assigned as keyboard shortcuts, to all channels or a specific channel, for quick and easy annotation. Marks can also be added and saved to files while analyzing data (post-processing).
Views
LabScribe displays data through a customizable, user-friendly, and intuitive interface. The number of input and computed channels, the display time, and scaling of the X and Y axes are just a few of the parameters that can be saved to a viewing template. Simply click one button to change from one view to another, using recording or analysis.
For eg. If recording BP, HR data from 4 animals, one could create 4 views, one for the data from each rat, and one view for the BP signals, and one view for the HR channels.
Meters
Numerical data can be displayed in a meter window as a digital value during data collection. This feature enhances the acquisition experience by providing summary data from the traces being collected. User-defined settings provide the option to display various parameters from input traces such as mean, minimum, maximum, amplitude, rate, etc. The frequency with which the value updates can be set by the user.
XY view
Any two channels can be displayed in XY format, online or offline. XY windows can be undocked and free-floating or can be re-positioned and docked in different locations on the screen.
Calculated Channels
Monitor and observe functional parameters during an experiment with an array of real-time calculations and user-defined computed channels. For example LabScribe can calculate rates, min/max/mean values, systolic/diastolic values.
Create up to 128 calculated channels
Data Analysis
The Analysis Window has many function that can be used to extract meaningful data from the waveforms. These measurements can be sent to the journal
FFT and Spectrum Analysis
LabScribe includes a Fast Fourier Transform feature for frequency analysis of any signal.
Macros: Automate Tasks
- Start, Stop Recording, and Save files
- Record the data in a multiple files, reducing file size making it easier to analyze the data.
- Control Digital Outputs and Stimulators
- Monitor inputs and run tasks based on input events.
- send simulated keyboard press and mouse motion
Find and AutoFind
Locate points of interest in the data for analysis
Exporting Data
All recorded data can be exported to either a text file, edf, matlab or a picture (.png, .jpg) making reports or posters much easier to create. Of course, you can always print your data from any window at any scale.
Journal
LabScribe includes a Journal which is very similar to a text editor. Text can be entered and edited in the Journal area and images of traces and graphs from the raw data and computed channels can be copied to the Journal. In addition to images, data values from the Main and Analysis Windows can be added to the Journal. The Journal can be printed, and its contents can be copied and pasted into other applications. The Journal includes a table view and an editor view making it easy to organize numerical data (table view) and generate graphical reports (editor view). The Journal can be undocked and free-floating or can be re-positioned and docked in different locations on the screen.
