title: [Medical waveform format encoding rules (MFER)--analysis and implementation].
abstract: There is not yet a universally acknowledged standard for all kinds of general medical waveform format encoding. Medical Waveform Format Encoding Rules (MFER) presented by Japanese IS&C Committee can parse and describe all kinds of routine medical waveform data. In this paper, MFER's working out, its present situation and characters are expatiated and MFER rules are interpreted in detail. MFER, medical waveform, standard
