Description
Two conventional methods are currently used to produce an Electrocardiogram (ECG) waveform display. The first uses analog input to a strip chart recorder or oscilloscope. The second uses a digital input to specialized digital display equipment. A third alternative now exists which involves the display of digital ECG data on a non-dedicated general purpose workstation. This requires that the ECG display process coexist with other applications contending for processor resources. Accurate emulation of the standard ECG display requires balancing of processor speed, display refresh rate, screen resolution and strip chart recorder emulation.
