considered in one embodiment a 10 second snapshot of the ecg signal may be considered more particularly a 10 second snapshot of the ecg signal about each minute of the hour may be obtained in the present example an ecg signal may be representative of a 10 second snapshot obtained about an hour such as 1 00 p m for example this snapshot of the ecg signal may generally be represented by reference numeral 106 an amplitude value of the ecg signal 106 at each second may be obtained subsequently the amplitude value at each second may be color coded based on a value of the amplitude alternatively the amplitude value may be indicated via use of a predetermined symbol in the example illustrated in fig6 the amplitude value at each second may be represented by a symbol corresponding to that amplitude value symbols representative of the amplitude values at each second may generally be represented by reference numeral 108 also a qrs complex of the ecg signal 106 may generally be represented by reference numeral 110 in accordance with exemplary aspects of the present technique once the amplitude values symbols 108 at each second of the 10 second snapshot of the ecg signal 106 are obtained these symbols 108 may be represented on a clock dial turning now to fig7 a diagrammatical illustration 120 of an exemplary method of displaying complex data on a clock dial 122 is illustrated reference numeral 124 may be representative of radial lines that are indicative of the u201c hour u201d markings on the clock dial 122 furthermore each radial line 124 may be subdivided into n sub divisions where each sub division may be representative of 1.
