The researcher may download the RCVSIM software from PhysioNet
and install and execute the pre-compiled binaries provided that he is
running Linux. If the researcher also has access to MATLAB and its
compiler (version 1.2), then he may modify and extend the source code
as he wishes and then recompile it to create new binaries.
Alternatively, if the researcher is running any other platform in
which the WAVE display system is fully supported (, Solaris,
SunOS) and has access to the MATLAB compiler (version 1.2), he may
compile the source code and install and execute the new binaries on
that platform. (The binaries created for such platforms may then be
uploaded to PhysioNet so that they may be distributed to other
researchers who do not own MATLAB.) Detailed instructions on
installing the RCVSIM binaries (and required libraries) and
compiling the source code are provided below.
