%
% ecgpuwave(recordName,annFileName,startTime,stopTime,qrsAnn,pflag,signalList)
%
%    Wrapper to the ECGPUWAVE binary written by Pablo Laguna (laguna@posta.unizar.es), Raimon Jan[�e], Eudald Bogatell, and David Vigo Anglada:
%         http://www.physionet.org/physiotools/wag/ecgpuw-1.htm
%
% ECGPUWAVE analyses an ECG signal from the specified record 'recordName', detecting the QRS complexes
% and locating the beginning, peak, and end of the P, QRS, and ST-T waveforms. The output of ecgpuwave
% is written as a standard WFDB-format annotation file associated
% with the specified annotator 'outputAnnFileName'.
%
% The QRS detector is based on the algorithm of Pan and Tompkins (reference 1) with some improvements that
% make use of slope information (reference 2). Optionally, QRS annotations can be provided as input (see option 'qrsAnn'),
% permitting the use of external QRS detectors such as sqrs(1) or manually-edited annotations
% (which can be created using wave(1) ). The waveform limit locator is based on the algorithm
% described in reference 3 and evaluated in references 3 and 4.
%
% The output annotation file contains PWAVE ("p") and TWAVE ("t") annotations
% that indicate the P- and T-wave peaks, as well as QRS annotations (NORMAL ("N") if generated
% by the built-in QRS detector, or copies of the input QRS annotations if these were supplied).
% ECGPUWAVE classifies each T wave as type 0 (normal), 1 (inverted), 2 (positive monophasic),
% 3 (negative monophasic), 4 (biphasic negative-positive), or 5 (biphasic positive-negative);
% this numeric classification is written into the num field of each TWAVE annotation.
% The P, QRS, and T waveform onsets and ends are marked in the output annotation file using
% WFON ("(") and WFOFF (")") annotations. The num field of each WFON and WFOFF annotation designates
% the type of waveform with which it is associated: 0 for a P wave, 1 for a QRS complex, or 2 for a T wave.
%
% WARNING: 
%   If ECGPUWAVE is used without providing an annotator file for the R peaks it relies on a Pan-Tompkins detector. 
%   This detector may not be optimized for your particular signal, and thus may need to be tuned, yielding anempty annotation
%   file. In this case, you may want to first run a QRS detector to generate an appropriate QRS annotation file, 
%   which you can then check manually prior to calling ECGPUWAVE with the
%   'qrsAnn' option described below.
%
% IMPORTANT NOTE:
%     A patch to the original Fortran source files was provided by Roberto Sassi in
%     order to compile ECGPUWAVE in 64-bit arch. This patch requires
%     compiling the source code with gfortran (g77 is not supported in gcc 4.x), which can
%     yield slighly different results. For more information please see:
%           http://www.dti.unimi.it/~sassi/software/wfdb64HowTo.htm

% Required Parameters:
%
% recordName
%       String specifying the name of the record to annotate with ECGPUWAVE.
%
% annFileName
%       String specifying the output file name that ECPUWAVE will store its
%       output.
%
% ecgpuwave(recordName,outputAnnFileName,startTime,stopTime,qrsAnn,pflag,signalList)
%
% Optional Parameters are:
%
% startTime
%      Either WFDB Time String or 1x1 integer specifying the sample number
%      specifying the starting location.
%
% stopTime
%      Either WFDB Time String or 1x1 integer specifying the sample number
%      specifying the ending location.
%
% qrsAnn
%       A String represengint the QRS annotation file that ECGPUWAVE should
%       use (must be in the WFDP PATH or within the current directory).
%
% pflag
%      A boolean (default = 0), if true all beats are processed, if false,
%      only normal beats are used.
%
% signalList
%     A Nx1 vector of integers specifying which signals in 'recordName' are
%     to be analyzed (default = [0].
