LabChart Features

Full feature list
Analysis Manager
Save and label your selections and analysis regions and recall them at a click. Whether you're using an automated Analysis Module like Blood Pressure, or simply making a selection for addition to the data pad, you can recall the same selection at any time post-analysis.
Arithmetic
Our most powerful channel calculation allows you access to LabChart's calculation engine, allowing custimized formulae, detection, and analysis. Take that equation direct from the textbook or article and build it within LabChart.
Blood Pressure Analysis
Find the Mean Arterial Pressure, Systolic Pressure, Max dP/dt and others in your ventricular or arterial blood pressure recording in seconds. Our Blood Pressure module is incredibly simple, and produces results faster.
Cardiac Output
Customize and automatically calculate cardiac output from a thermodilution curve.
Channel Settings
The central hub of your data acquisition system provides an overview of the current recording settings, calculations and channels. Quickly change your displayed channels or add a calculation.
Comments
Annotate your data during or post acquisition to aid in navigating your traces later and use your comments to unlock the full time-saving potential of LabChart's analysis and visualization features.
Cyclic Measurements
This tool combines flexible and clever cycle detection to create a simple to use analysis for periodic waveforms. Find your Heart Rate, Systolic Pressure, Respiratory Rate, integrate a waveform over a cycle, or simply mark events.
Data Pad
The most flexible method of converting your time based raw data and calculations from the chart view to discrete values for use in statistical analysis.
Data Plots
Plots allow you to do more right within LabChart while you record. Visualize analysis easily with four different plot types and curve fits. (Windows only)
Device Discovery & Devices and Channels
Find incredible flexibility in the way you acquire your signals. This dialog allows you to manage which LabChart channels will be acquiring data, and to manage from which devices and inputs that data will be provided.
Dose Response
Custom or automatic calculation and generation of single or multiple dose response curves, from a centralized setup and display. Export your dose response curve, EC50 directly within LabChart.
DVM
Display your raw data or calculation signals as a large numerical display. This makes it simple to see the current status of any signal from across the room. Update in real time, or display a derived calculation every 10 seconds.
ECG Analysis
PQRST is as easy as ABC with automated waveform detection and classification. Use our animal or human preset feature or customize your own bespoke analysis. This tool shortens the time from acquisition to publishing by automatically reporting everything you'd want to know about your waveform morphology, readily available for export.
Event Manager
Send a signal to a piece of hardware, sound an alarm, or start a custom macro protocol when Event Manager detects user defined events. LabChart and PowerLab can become the controlling centerpiece of your Laboratory. (Windows Only)
Feature Manager
Initiate your LabChart updates from within the software, search for new LabChart add-ons or toggle off features and menus you aren't planning to use for this experiment. Optimize LabChart to fit your current needs, and simplify your workflow.
Guidelines
Visualize targets for human subjects, or simply highlight a section of your data trace to ensure you'll notice when you've reached your area of interest. Guidelines provide a quick but powerful way to divide your data amplitude in to regions of interest.
HRV Analysis
Heart Rate Variability derives the latest time and frequency based HRV parameters in an intuitive interface, allowing you to deliver results quickly, and publish faster by exporting data and images to your publication.
Layout
Clean up your display in LabChart with this extremely convenient feature. Use Smart Tile to quickly snap all of the open windows into a neat arrangement, or save your current display and revert back to it at any time with a simple mouse click.
Macros
Record your actions for repetitive operations, or get under the hood and write custom processes in VB Script. Editable macros provide access to most of LabChart's features, your imagination is the only limitation to streamlining your workflow and processes in LabChart.
Metabolic
Automatically calculate and display the most common analysis parameters from a metabolic cart (RER, VO2 Max, and others). A powerful report shortens your time to analyze and publish.
Multipoint Calibration
Perform linear and non-linear corrections on any input using up to 12 standard points. Copy or print the fit equation, SSE and r2 information. (Windows only)
Peak Analysis
This analysis tool is not one to be underestimated. Intended for the general task of peak detection and providing analysis parameters like peak height, half-width, latency period, population spike height, rise time, area and tau, this packs a punch with dedicated detection algorithms and flexible analysis packages. (Windows only)
Playback File
Stream pre-recorded data as if the data were coming live from an attached device. Mimic real-life recording situations using previously recorded data. (Windows only)
PV Loop
Experience simplicity! The Workflow mode for PV Loop steps you through each phase of the PV procedure, helping you to acquire the results you need for this powerful cardiovascular application.
Scope View
Display, overlay, average and analyze periodic or evoked waveforms in real time. Ideal for finding that time from stimulus to response in repeated evoked potential recordings.
Spectrum
Powerfully convert your time based signal to its component frequencies. You can display the power spectrum density, a colorful spectrogram, a channel calculation for quantifying the power in specific frequency ranges, or extract frequency parameters directly to the data pad.
Spike Histogram
Spike discrimination and analysis doesn't have to be hard. Use a simple discrimination, or our template matching to group spikes into unit groups. Analyze the spikes based on timing and amplitude.
Spirometry
Derive multiple respiratory parameters (FVC, PIF, and others) from recorded flow and volume and generate an easy-to-read spirometry report.
Split Screen
See the chart view traces with two separate x-axis displays. View long term trends long side the latest data with this beautifully clever display feature.
Stimulator
The awesome flexibility in LabChart's stimulator dialog allows you to create a custom protocol to stimulate your preparation directly or to control an ADInstruments stimulus isolator or third-party device.
Units Conversion
Our simple two point calibration tool makes converting Voltage units to known measurement units quick and simple.
Video Capture
Record and replay synchronized video along side your physiological recording. Validate your detected events and physiological responses and ensure your data integrity with video feedback.
Zoom View
Take a closer look at an event, compare the timing between two overlayed channels, and export your images to publish. The Zoom View provides a snapshot of your data.
Versions and Licenses
LabChart versions provide different levels of complexity and features. There are options for extending LabChart, by purchasing add-ons, or upgrading to a different version.
