PC and ERT Control/Gating Module

Revision C, August 2013

3-2

Gates and waveforms sweep from left to right. The number of red dots (R-waves)

determines the measured heart rate and the R to R period. Likewise the number of red

bars (expirations) generates the measured respiration rate and period.
