Abstract

The 8 - lead bipolar  data acquisition system based on the ADS1298 is presented in this paper. This system represents the multichannel bio-amplifier capable of measuring various type of bioelectrical signals such as ECG, EOG, EMG and EEG. Thanks to the combination with the MCU and the USART – USB converter it is able to measure and send data into the PC. Firmware for MCU and software for PC are also presented in this article. The software for the PC represents graphical user interface designed to cooperate with the created hardware. The PC’s GUI allows real time plotting of sensed signal. It is also possible to set up data acquisition properties such as number of measured channels, sampling frequency, gain of channels, configuration of the RLD and the WCT block. End of the paper presents measurements of EMG, EOG, EEG and ECG. The article shows a way how to use the 8-channeled Data Acquisition Unit for the measurement of standard 12-lead ECG. The article also presents simultaneous measurement of the ECG by the developed device and the commercial BIOPAC MP36.
