'''LabChart''' (formerly known as Chart) is a [[data acquisition]] software package produced by [[ADInstruments]].
LabChart functions like a traditional multi-channel [[chart recorder]], [[X–Y plotter]], [[polygraph]] and digital [[voltmeter]]. The software records up to 16 data channels and 32 analysis channels in a single file on computer hard disks. Some data sources can also be controlled using the software.
The collected data can be either presented in real-time, i.e. while it is being recorded, or it can be played back later for offline analysis. On screen, that data is presented in a manner that resembles the output of a paper chart recorder, for example as an [[electrocardiogram]] or a [[peristimulus time histogram]]. The application can be automated with macros, and runs on either [[Microsoft Windows]] and [[Apple Macintosh]] systems.
LabChart consists of several modules for interpreting data. These assist
* the analysis of cardiovascular parameters from [[Blood pressure|arterial or ventricular pressure]] signals.
* calculations of [[cardiac output]] from thermodilution curve.
* pre-experiment determination of optimal pretension of muscles.
* analysis of [[dose response]] type data.
* detection of PQRST onset, amplitude and interval times in [[electrocardiogram]]s.
* the measure of the beat-to-beat [[Heart rate variability|variations in heart rate]].
* the discrimination of extracellular [[Neural coding#Spike-Count Rate|neural spike activity]].
Labchart also has the capability to synchronize a video feed with acquired data.
