# biosig2gdf(1)

converts different biomedical signal file formats into a simplified version of GDF, and can stream the result to stdout. This is useful for reading the data by an unnamed pipe into different programming environment, while a simplified parser can be used to decode the data. The conversion performs a conversion to GDFv3 format, where all channels have the same data type and the same sampling rate.
