摘要

This paper illustrates a low-cost method for online acquisition of ECG signal for storage and processing using a MATLAB-based Graphical User Interface (GUI). The single lead ECG is sampled at a rate of 1 kHz and after digitization, fed to a microcontroller-based embedded system to convert the ECG data to a RS232 formatted serial bit-stream. This serial data stream is then transmitted to a desktop Personal Computer at a rate of 19.2 kbps and a state-of-the art developed software stores it automatically in a temporary data file. The original ECG data is reconstructed from the digital data set by a conversion formula. The MATLAB-based GUI is designed to perform online analysis on the ECG data to compute the different time-plane features and display the same on the GUI along with the ECG signal plot.
