Electrocardiogram signal collecting apparatus
First Claim
1. An electrocardiogram signal collecting apparatus comprising:
- an electrode to sense the constriction a person'"'"'s heart;
a first stage filtering and amplifying section to filter out the DC component and high frequency component and amplify the signal from the electrode;
a second stage filtering and amplifying section to further filter and amplify the signal from the first stage filtering and amplifying section;
a photo-isolator to electrically isolate the signal from the second stage filtering and amplifying section and the output;
an analog to digital converter to convert the output of the photo-isolator into a digital signal; and
a printer input/output port to serve as an interface between said analog to digital converter and a personal computer or notebook computer printer port.
