Abstract
The discussion of BSPM data in the preceding chapter included the electrodes, vests, amplifiers, multiplexers, recording, and analog-to-digital conversion (ADC). In this chapter, we assume that the data have been collected and stored on disk, on tape, or in memory in a multiplexed format, where the data are accessible to the software. Starting at that point, we will discuss the procedures and techniques used to construct and display maps of the measured cardiac potentials.
