HuffmanDecoder

public HuffmanDecoder(byte[] bytesToDecompress,
                      int differenceDataUsed,
                      int multiplier,
                      int numberOfHuffmanTables,
                      ArrayList huffmanTablesList)

Construct a Huffman decoder for the supplied encoded data, as read from an SCP-ECG file.

Parameters:

bytesToDecompress - the compressed data

differenceDataUsed - 0 = no, 1 = 1 difference value, 2 = 2 difference values

multiplier - a value by which to scale the decoded values

numberOfHuffmanTables - how many tables are available for use

huffmanTablesList - the Huffman tables themselves
