The MOD-EKG is a digital heart-rate monitor based on TI's MSP430FG439 microcontroller. The heartbeat rate per minute is displayed on the LCD. In addition, the application outputs a digital data stream via an RS232 serial port to allow EKG waveform display on a PC. The only way to do this is via board's UEXT connector, where RS232 signals are sent. The connection between the PC and MOD-EKG can be made by using our USB to RS232 Converter.
An electrocardiogram (ECG), also called an EKG, is a graphic tracing of the voltage generated by the heart muscle during a heartbeat. In this application, the EKG waveform is used by the MCU to measure the heartbeat rate. Because heartbeat calculation is the major focus the electrodes are simplified to two connections, one to a right hand and the other to the left hand.
