measuring is a non-invasive technique used to measure the
amount of oxygenated hemoglobin and pulse rate by measuring
the absorption of selected wavelengths of light. The light emitted
by the red infrared light-emitting diodes passes through the tissue
and is converted into electrical signals by a photodiode.
After nishing the time and the ID number setting, place nger into
the sensor as indicated in the picture below:
