1.2. Principle of Operation
The operation of the system is based on the recording and input
of electrical signals in the heart to computer to perform the
analysis of cardiac function in animals.
The block diagram of the system is shown in Fig. 1.

ECG signal is transferred to 8 channels of the amplifier via the
electrodes. The amplified signal is delivered to the multi-
channel analog-to-digital converter (ADC).
The central processor refers to the ADC from time-to-time, pro-
cesses the received information and transfers it to the USB
processor. The USB processor transfers data to the computer
and controls the power supply unit.
The power supply unit provides all electronic components of the
system with the required power supply from the USB bus in the
mode of data reading to PC.
The PC is used to process the recorded physiological signals,
display them on the monitor in various forms after the mathe-
matical analysis, store the original signals on the hard disk,
generate the examination reports and print them.
