Features of Microprocessor-Based ECG Systems
Microprocessors have been used in electrocardiographs to obtain certain advanced features like the elimination of artefacts, baseline shifting, and so forth using software techniques. In this article, we look at some of the key features of microprocessor-based ECG systems as follows: Microprocessor-based ECG machines can perform self-testing each time they are switched on. They are…

The Applications of Microcontrollers in Medical Instrumentation
A microcontroller is a self-contained device that includes a CPU, ROM, RAM, clock circuity and I/O circuity on a single integrated circuit (IC) package. A microcontroller does not require accompanying support chips for its operation as conventional microprocessors do. A microcontroller often replace analog circuits by performing the signal processing functions of a comparator, limiter,…

The application of Microprocessors in Medical Instrumentation
What is a Microprocessor? A microprocessor is a computer processor that incorporates the functions of a central processing unit (CPU) on a single integrated circuit (IC) or sometimes up to 8 integrated circuits. A microprocessor is programmable, multipurpose, clock-driven, register based electronic device that reads binary instructions from a storage device called memory, accepts binary…
