EP Calipers

EP Calipers allows you to use electronic calipers to make measurements on images of ECGs or EP recordings. Use time calipers to measure intervals or heart rate, amplitude calipers to measure voltage, and angle calipers for specialized uses such as evaluating Brugada Syndrome. See this post for more details.

EP Calipers is available for iPhone or iPad, Android devices, Mac, and Microsoft Windows™.

Notes on EP Calipers for Windows

There are two ways to get EP Calipers for Windows. The first way is to download a zip file containing the program, available from FastSpring. Unzip the downloaded file and double-click on setup.exe to install the program.

The second version is available from the Microsoft App Store.

Both versions are identical in function. Which version you should download depends on whether you want to have a self-contained version of the program or want to use the Microsoft App Store. Both versions will run on 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows 10. Updates to the program are free for both versions; however users with the Microsoft App Store version will receive automatic update notices, which is not (at present) possible via FastSpring. Purchasers of the FastSpring version of EP Calipers will be emailed a coupon for free updates shortly after their purchase. Email me at mannd@epstudiossoftware.com if you don’t receive this coupon. Follow me on Twitter (@manndmd) to hear about new version releases.

It is possible to run the FastSpring version on earlier versions of Windows (back to Vista SP2!); however, it is necessary to download the Windows Universal CRT update. Please read the instructions of the linked page carefully to set up your system.

The latest version of EP Calipers for Windows (2.0.0 and later versions) happily now has a transparent window feature that is working well regardless of how you install it, from FastSpring or the Microsoft App Store.

Examples

Measure a known interval to calibrate (e.g. 5 “boxes” at 25 mm/sec standard ECG speed which equals 1000 msec)

Calipers maintain calibration with image zoom

Toggle between interval measurements and heart rate

Measure mean intervals and heart rates. Useful for irregular rhythms like atrial fibrillation.

Calculate the QTc using 4 different formulas

Using marching calipers to evaluate complex arrhythmias

Take photos of ECGs or load ECG images from your photo library. You can open PDF files with EP Calipers to analyze figures in published papers.

Note: some of these are a bit dated and lack some of the newer features, but they should give you a general idea of how to use the app on different platforms.

EP caliper transparency is gone after Mojave update

Has been restored in latest version (1.16.1 and above).

Can you clarify your comment?

ep calipers is useless on Mac you can not get the measurements in ms and most of the features are grayed out. It would have been nice to know this before purchasing.

You have to calibrate your caliper with the calibrate button before you can get measurements in ms and make calculations. If this is not the problem please email me at mannd@epstudiossoftware.com.
