Step by Step ​

The application uses GDF files (uploaded from the episode data) as an input and allows the User to convert the GDF data to CSV format. From the 'Actions' tab within the GDF file view, the User may select 'Use in Application' option and then choose 'GDF to XLS converter'. The application enables conversion of any GDF file and generates a single output file: with a similar name as the input file, but different extension - .csv (Figure 1).
