MATLAB SOFTWARE FOR HIGH-RESOLUTION MULTICHANNEL ECG MEASUREMENT

Slavomir Karas, Milan Tysler
Abstract:
High resolution multichannel ECG measurement is necessary prerequisite for advanced diagnostics of various cardiovascular diseases. Special multichannel electrocardiograph ProCardio-8 was developed to obtain ECG signals with desired quality. The system is conceived as a virtual instrument with an external intelligent measuring unit connected to a host PC running dedicated application software. In this paper, the data acquisition software developed in MATLAB version 7 and using the Signal Processing Toolbox is introduced. In the first part of the paper, applicability of MATLAB for fast data acquisition was verified and data throughput between the measuring unit and the PC was estimated using a data source with adjustable data rate. Second part of the paper is devoted to development and optimization of a measuring software module that includes control of the measuring unit, testing of electrode contacts and real time data acquisition, visualization and storage of measured data.
