M E A S U R E M E N T T I P S Volume 10, Number 3 Generating Complex ECG Patterns with an Arbitrary Waveform Generator Snapshot Using an electrocardiogram (ECG) is an A maker of cardiac monitoring equipment needed to test its latest design’s invaluable way to identify various physical ability to capture and interpret ECG signals. The company’s design engineers wanted ailments. To conduct an ECG, medical personnel to simulate gradually changing sequences of normal and abnormal ECG signals to test place leads on a patient’s skin and measure the and tune the design’s input signal conditioning hardware and the fi rmware interpreta- electrical activity of the heart over one beat cycle. tion algorithms to ensure their design did not produce false positives or life-threatening The outputs of the leads are combined to create false negatives. To simulate the ECG signals, the engineers used the Agilent 33521A an ECG signal. Variations in the signal amplitude function/arbitrary waveform generator. They chose the 33521A because of its arbitrary and timing provide indications of various ailments waveform sequencing feature. This feature allowwed them such as myocardial infarction, hypocalcaemia, to seamlessly switch across various ECG signals and emphysema. Today there is a wide array of stored in arbitrary waveform memory. With cardiac equipment that displays and interprets this functionality, they were able to simulate ECG signal patterns. Medical equipment designers the gradual onset of various ECG signal need a fl exible way to seamlessly generate abnormalities without any discontinuities in accurate ECG signal patterns to verify and test their test. Also, the 33521A’s 1-million-point their designs. In this measure
