eader editor
This tool can be used to edit (or anonymize) the header (file info) like subject, birthdate, etc.
You can also edit labels (signalnames), physical dimension, pre-filter and transducer names.
If the file you want to edit has been opened in EDFbrowser already, close it first before starting
this tool.
This tool can also be used to repair a file that cannot be opened with EDFbrowser because of an incompatibility.
Errors that can be repaired with this tool:
- invalid characters in the header (the EDF format allows (7-bit) ASCII characters only)
- a wrong or missing timestamp (format) in the header (e.g. a colon instead of a dot between the numbers)
- a wrong or missing datestamp (format) in the header (e.g. a dash instead of a dot between the numbers)
- a wrong number of datarecords written in the header
- a wrong filesize (file is not ending at the boundary of a datarecord)
- a broken number i.e. a number with decimal(s) in the digital maximum/minimum field
- the value for digital maximum is lower than or equal to digital minimum
- the value for physical maximum equals physical minimum
- illegal or extraneous data in the reserved field
Do as follows: In EDFbrowser go to Tools -> Header editor. Select the file. Now click on the
"save" button (you don't need to edit the content manually). Close the header editor.
Now open the file in the usual way.
