Corresponding command for setwfdb in your tree?

[sami10007]

Hi,

According docs http://wfdb-matlab-toolbox.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/wfdb-swig-matlab/mcode/setwfdb.m, the command should exist. However, it does not exist in your tree (0-9-10), and not in 0-9-9 tree. I need a dbpath such that to allow many projects use my local files, and decrease load on your servers. I mostly need mitdb and other ecg signals.

What is the corresponding command of setwfdb in your tree?

Best regards,

Sami

I'm not sure if it exists anymore. My workaround was to use change directory as appropriate - not very elegant but worked. Perhaps someone else has a better solution.

I do not think changing the directory is a solution. I try to restore the system in #122 without changing the directory.

From Ikaro's answer about the ticket #120, I understand you can do it by doing WFDB_PATH=['/Users/masi/Databases'];. However, I am not anymore sure because my wfdb system is broken in OS X. I think Ikaro means to change the file directly. However, I would not like to do that.

The cleanest way to do this would be setting your WFDBPATH so that the toolbox searches your local directory first (default) and then either a PhysioNet server (any of the mirrors) or none at all.
[- -]
You can change that variable at: https://github.com/ikarosilva/wfdb-app-toolbox/blob/master/mcode/wfdbloadlib.m See lines 45-50.

So I think setting your Database location first in WFDBPATH could be a solution. However, I have not succeeded.

What do you think?

Not relevant to toolbox (this is for swig matlab).
