/*
 * note: In EDF, the sensitivity (e.g. uV/bit) and offset are stored using four parameters:
 * digital maximum and minimum, and physical maximum and minimum.
 * Here, digital means the raw data coming from a sensor or ADC. Physical means the units like uV.
 * The sensitivity in units/bit is calculated as follows:
 *
 * units per bit = (physical max - physical min) / (digital max - digital min)
 *
 * The digital offset is calculated as follows:
 *
 * offset = (physical max / units per bit) - digital max
 *
 * For a better explanation about the relation between digital data and physical data,
 * read the document "Coding Schemes Used with Data Converters" (PDF):
 *
 * http://www.ti.com/general/docs/lit/getliterature.tsp?baseLiteratureNumber=sbaa042
 *
 * note: An EDF file usually contains multiple so-called datarecords. One datarecord usually has a duration of one second (this is the default but it is not mandatory!).
 * In that case a file with a duration of five minutes contains 300 datarecords. The duration of a datarecord can be freely choosen but, if possible, use values from
 * 0.1 to 1 second for easier handling. Just make sure that the total size of one datarecord, expressed in bytes, does not exceed 10MByte (15MBytes for BDF(+)).
 *
 * The RECOMMENDATION of a maximum datarecordsize of 61440 bytes in the EDF and EDF+ specification was usefull in the time people were still using DOS as their main operating system.
 * Using DOS and fast (near) pointers (16-bit pointers), the maximum allocatable block of memory was 64KByte.
 * This is not a concern anymore so the maximum datarecord size now is limited to 10MByte for EDF(+) and 15MByte for BDF(+). This helps to accommodate for higher samplingrates
 * used by modern Analog to Digital Converters.
 *
 * EDF header character encoding: The EDF specification says that only (printable) ASCII characters are allowed.
 * When writing the header info, EDFlib will assume you are using Latin1 encoding and it will automatically convert
 * characters with accents, umlauts, tilde, etc. to their "normal" equivalent without the accent/umlaut/tilde/etc.
 * in order to create a valid EDF file.
 *
 * The description/name of an EDF+ annotation on the other hand, is encoded in UTF-8.
 *

Notes:

Annotationsignals
=================

EDFplus and BDFplus store the annotations in one or more signals (in order to be backwards compatibel with EDF and BDF).
The counting of the signals in the file starts at 0. Signals used for annotations are skipped by EDFlib.
This means that the annotationsignal(s) in the file are hided.
Use the function edf_get_annotation() to get the annotations.

So, when a file contains 5 signals and the third signal is used to store the annotations, the library will
report that there are only 4 signals in the file.
The library will "map" the signalnumbers as follows: 0->0, 1->1, 2->3, 3->4.
This way you don't need to worry about which signals are annotationsignals, the library will take care of it.

How the library stores time-values
==================================

To avoid rounding errors, the library stores some timevalues in variables of type long long int.
In order not to loose the subsecond precision, all timevalues have been multiplied by 10000000.
This will limit the timeresolution to 100 nanoSeconds. To calculate the amount of seconds, divide
the timevalue by 10000000 or use the macro EDFLIB_TIME_DIMENSION which is declared in edflib.h.
The following variables do use this when you open a file in read mode: "file_duration", "starttime_subsecond" and "onset".
