UNDERSTANDING MASTER UNIT

The Master Unit is a common base structure of the equipment ordered by you. It is an

electronic desk with ergonomically designed compartmental ABS enclosure with sleek

looking desk shape with central slotholding replaceable experiment panels (439 mm x 209

mm).Basically for the subject matter being experimented upon, you would like to have

following facilities available on your table viz; Toggle switches to apply high or low input

signals for the digital circuit that you want to build up,buffered LED’s to check output

status level for your circuit.Along with this youmay need pulser to provide clean clock

pulse to counter ,probe to detect one shot occurrence of narrow pulse during a carry over,

or a DPM to measure output or a function generator to provide some signals for an analog

circuit, or a 7 segment display to observe measured count etc.

The transformer used inside has many secondaries; some of these windings are used to

generate other DC power supplies. Of course one cannot forget the myriad range of various

stabilized DC power supplies that you will need to complete your lab experiments All of

these are gathered on a single PCB called as Power supply PCB, which is located just below

the Top board of Master unit. Of these, the variable power supplies are kept isolated from

eachother as well rest of the power supplies.This facilities you to make them function as

+/- DC power source, adjusting the settings as per your requirements e.g. +/-3V or +/-10V

DC etc.

Too provide variable power supplies (3 to 18 V DC -2 nos.) you have been provided with

two variables carbon potentiometers mounted on the Top board and are labeled

appropriately. The 5V,+12 V,-12VDC, power supplies have common ground. These power

supplies are made available to user at right – hand corner of Top board as mentioned

above. Also these +/-12V & +5V are used for working of op-amps & TTL circuits as power

supply , on CIA III , on TB pcbs inside the master unit.

COMPUTER INTERFACE: A PC parallel port or USB ( using optional USB IO module

refer appendix A)based pc interface is supported using VC++GUI (optionally Graph utility

based exe) It provides for 24 DIO& 4AI &1AO.This facilities on line data acquisition &

display; using appropriate programmes/exes (need to be purchased separately); for many

user experiments;This is specially more useful in biomedical electronics Lab thereby

combining routine hands-on approach with power of animated pc based tutorials thus

EXPERIMENT NO.6

AIM: To acquire real time ECG using surface electrode and calculate heart beat.

APPARATUS REQUIRED : Master unit (Xpo-BOM) , RRM/BIA Experimental panel, digital

multimeter, patch chords ,ECG/EMG experimental panel, electrodes (limbs).

THEORY:

A. An electrocardiogram (ECG) is a recording of the electrical activity on the body

surface generated by heart.ECG measurement information is collected by skin

electrodes placed at designated locations on the body. The ECG signal is

characterized by six peaks and valleys labeled with successive letters of the

alphabet P , Q , R , S , T , and U.

Experiment configuration is envisaged for use with a personal computer . Although

this panel is made with patient safety in mind, any ideas presented are not by

themselves necessarily compatible with all system safety requirements.

B. REQUIREMENTS FOR AN ELECTROCARDIOGRAPH :

The front end of an ECG must be able to deal with extremely weak signals ranging

from 0.5 mV to 5.0 mV , combined with a dc component of up to 300 mV , resulting

from the electrode –skin contact -plus a common –mode component of up to 1.5

mV , resulting from the potential between the electrodes and ground .The useful

bandwidth of an ECG signal , depending on the application , can range from 0.5 HZ to

20 HZ –for a monitoring application in intensive care units up to 1 KHZ for late-

potential measurements (pacemaker detection) . A standard clinical ECG application

has a bandwidth of 0.05 HZ to 100 HZ.BW means if you do Fourier analysis of the

ECG signal which is non-sinusoidal signal but repetitive & hence it will have

fundamental at around 1.1 HZ while other harmonics up to 20 HZ etc may be

present wiyh diminishing contribution . hence as per Shanon’sLaw , sampling at

double the maximum harmonics frequency i.e. 20 x 2=40 HZ will suffice to

reconstruct the original signal.ECG signals may be corrupted by various kinds of

noise.

The main sources of noise are:

Electrode contact noise :Variable contact between the electrode and the

skin , causing baseline drift.

Motion artifacts: Shifts in the baseline caused by changes in the electrode –

skin impedence.

Muscle contraction: Electromyogram – type signals (EMG) are generated

and mixed with the ECG signals.

Respiration, causing drift in the baseline.

Electromagnetic interference from other electronic devices , with the

electrode wires serving as antennas, and

Noise coupled from other electronic devices,usually at high frequencies.

For meaningful and accurate detection , steps have to be taken to filter out or

discard all these noise source.

C. LIMB LEAD PLACEMENT :

1) RA (Yellow) – Right Arm electrode is placed near the wrist.

2) LA (Black) - Left Arm electrode is placed near the wrist.

3) RL (Green) - Right Leg electrode is placed on a distal portion of the lower leg ,

above the ankle.

4) LL(Red) - Left Leg electrode is placed on a distal portion of the lower leg,above

the ankle.

BIPOLAR LEADS: By convention ,lead ‘I’ has the positive electrode on the left arm , and

the negative electrode on the right arm ,and therefore measures the potential

difference between the two arms.In this and the other two limbs leads, an electrode on

the right leg serves as a reference electrode for recording purposes . In the lead ‘II’

configuration, the positive electrode is on the left leg and the negative electrode is on

the right arm . Lead ‘III’ has the positive electrode on the left leg and the negative

electrode on the left arm.These three bipolar limb leads roughly from an equilateral

triangle (with the heart at the center) that is called EINTHOVEN’S triangle in honor of

willemEinthoven who developed the electrocardiogram in 1901.Whether the limb leads

are attached to the end of the limb (Wrists and ankles) or at the origin of the limb

(shoulder or upper thigh) makes no difference in the recording because the limb can

simply be viewed as a long wire conductor originating from the point on the trunk of

the body.

Based upon universally accepted ECG rules a wave a depolarization heading toward the

left arm gives a positive deflection in lead ‘I’ because the positive electrode is on the

lest arm.Maximal positive ECG deflection occurs in lead ‘I’ when a wave of

depolarization travels parallel to the axis between the right and left arms . If a wave of

depolarization heads away from the left arm , the deflection is negative. Also by these

rules , a wave of repolarization moving away from the left arm is recorded as a positive

deflection . Similar statements can be made for leads ‘II’ and ‘III’in which the positive

electrode is located on the left leg. For example , a wave of depolarization traveling

toward the left leg produces a positive deflection in both leads ‘II’ and ‘III’ because the

positive electrode for both leads is on the left leg. A maximal positive deflection is

recorded in lead ‘II’ when the depolarization wave travels parallel to the axis between

the right arm and left leg .Similarly , a maximal positive deflection is obtained in lead

‘III’ when the depolarization wave travels parallel to the axis between the left arm and

left leg.

PROCEDURE:

Wiring Sequence :Connect BS5 1-2 , 12 –BS5 4,-12-BS5 6 , GND-BS5 5, BS5-(Top board

– ADC2 is CH3 or ADC1 is CH2).

1. Use clamp type surface electrodes.

2. Apply Gel to surface electrodes & Connect surface Electrodes 4 nos.to body as

shown in figure &colour coding as mentioned . Insert 4mm plugs from 9 pin D

connector located on left hand side of panel.

3. Switch ON SW4 (Battery P ON, UP position) & Master unit.

4. Confirm SW5 switch is left position to save Battery.

5. Calculate Heart rate as fllows:

HEART RATE = {Samples (X−difference )∗0.0025 }x 60

6. Select rotary switch S1 to position as shown in table ‘a’.

CONCLUSION:

1) Shifting of the Baseline: A wandering baseline as seen in adjoining figure but

otherwise normal ECG trace is usually due to the movement of the patient or

electrodes. The baseline shift can be eliminated by ensuring that the patient lies

relaxed& the electrodes are properly attached.

2) Muscle Tremor: Irregular trembling of the ECG trace in figure A without wondering

of the baseline occurs when the patient is not relaxed or is cold. It is found in the

case of older patients.

3) Interface from the power line: Power line interference is easily recognizable since

the interfacing voltage in the ECG would have a frequency of 50 HZ. This can be

verified by bypassing notch filter & observe interference.

4) In all the bipolar lead positions ,QRS of a normal heart is such that the R wave is

positive & is generated in lead II.

EXPERIMENT NO. 7

AIM: To acquire real time EMG using surface electrode and study its characteristics.

MATERIAL REQUIRED :BPM , EMG experimental panel , patch chords , pc (graph utility

software), Limb electrodes.

THEORY: Typically externally measured action potential from a single muscle fibre

produces a characteristic biphasic waveform. Imagine what happens when a recording is

made externally to the muscle in a living subject. Instead of recording from a single muscle

fibre you are recording from thousands of muscle fibres and instead of recording just next

to the fibre you are recording some distance away through various layers of connective

tissue and skin. This means that instead of a nice clean signal of about 100 mV you get a

much more complex signal of about 5 mV.The actual size of the signal is highly variable and

depends on the thickness of the connective tissue, the quality of the contact between the

electrode and the skin ,the size of the action potentials .These will vary from experiment to

experiment so the size of an EMG is a largely qualitative measure although it does

increases in size with the activation level of a muscle.

When there is little muscle tension there is virtually zero electrical activity. As the EMG

increases after a short lag the tension increases. A surface electrode may be used to

monitor the general picture of muscle activation, as opposed to the activity of only a few

fibres as observed using a needle. This technique is used in a number of setting; for

example in the physiotherapy clinic , muscle activation is mentioned using EMG & patients

have an auditory or stimulus to help them know they are activating the muscle

(biofeedback). A motor unit is defined as on motor neuron and all of the muscle fibree in

innervates. When a motor unit fires , the impulse ( called an action potential ) is carried

down the motor neuron to the muscle. The area where the nerve contacts the muscle is

called the Neuromuscular junction or the motor end plate. After the action potential is

transmitted across the neuro muscular junction ,an action potential is elicited in all of the

innervated muscle fibers of that particular motor unit.

The sum of all this electrical activity is known as a motor unit action potential (MUAP). This

electro physiologic activity from multiple motor units is typically evaluated during an EMG.

PROCEDURE:

Wiring Sequence : Connect BS5 1-2 , 12 –BS5 4,-12-BS5 6 , GND-BS5 5, BS5-(Top

board – ADC1 is CH3 or ADC1 is CH2).

1. Use clamp type surface electrodes

2. Apply Gel to surface electrodes & Connect surface Electrodes 3 nos.to body as

shown in figure&colourcoding as mentioned. Insert 4mm plugs from 9 pin D

connector located on left handside of panel.To left forearm which should be kept

facing up on your lap in a relaxed fashion.

3. Switch ON SW4 (Battery P ON, UP position) & Master unit.

4. Confirm SW5 switch is left position to save Battery.

5. Keep Rotary switch (S1) at position one.

6. Now flex your wrist of left arm up & down.

7. Observe waveform on CRO or PC.

CONCLUSION:

a) EMG provides good semi – quantitative data on muscle use.

b) A 3 electrode system is necessary to cancle out background noise.

c) Linear envelope processing with a 50 (60) HZ Notch filter is a good processing

option.

d) There is a variable (-50 ms) time delay between the electrical activity and tension.

RESULT:

The EMG wavelength from armmuscle have been studied.

EXPERIMENT NO. 8

AIM: To acquire real time EOG using surface electrodes and study its characteristics.

APPARATUS REQUIRED: Ag/AgCl electrodes, Xp-BOM, EOG experimental panel, patch

chord, PC (graph utility software).

THEORY:

The electrooculogram signals or simply EOG represent the eye balls movements. The

waveform contains useful information about the movement of the eye balls and generally it

may also represent the overall condition of the human subject such as the state of

drowsiness of the subject. The EOG signal when extracted and analyzed using computers ,

are highly useful in detecting changes in the states of the subject and could be useful in

applications such as Wake – sleep detection and human-computer interface (HCL) [1,2 ]

.Such application can be further enhanced if some form of prediction is available.

EOG is the recording of the standing corneal retinal potential arising from

hyperpolarizations and depolarizations existing between the cornea and the retina.This

potential can be considered as a steady electrical dipole with a negative pole at the fundus

and a positive pole at the cornea. This standing potential in the eye can thus be estimated

by measuring the voltage induced across a system of electrodes placed around eyes as the

eye gaze changes. EOG signal varies from 50 to 3500 mV in magnitude with a frequency

range of about dc – 100 HZ . Its behavior is practically linear for gaze angles of + 300. It

should be pointed out that the variables measured in the human body (any bio-potential)

are rarely deterministic. Its magnitude varies with time even when all possible variables

are controlled. Most of these bio-potentials vary widely even under similar measuring

conditions which means that the EOG readings variability are due to other biopotentials

such as EEG , electromyogram (EMG) and those of the acquisition system devices.

Additional causes include positioning of electrodes ,skin-electrode contacts, lighting

conditions ,head movements, blinking etc.

PLACEMENT OF EOG ELECTRODES

The reference Surface electrode is placed on a distal portion of the lower leg,above the

ankle (RL Green).

PROCEDURE

Wiring Sequence: Connect BS5 1-2 , 12 –BS5 4,-12-BS5 6 , GND-BS5 5, BS5-(Top board –

ADC1 is CH3 or ADC1 is CH2).

1. Apply Gel on your Right Leg electrode RL (Green) & is placed on a distal portion of

the lower leg, above the ankle.

2. Connect Disposal sticker type electrodes Ag/Agcl 2 nos. to both sides of your

forehead (temples) near eyebrows but in the line of your upper ears as shown in

figure 7.1.

3. Switch ON SW4 (Battery P ON,Up position) &Master Unit.

4. Confirm SW5 switch is left position to save Battery.

5. Keep rotary switch (S1) at position one.

6. Now flex your eye lid or eye balls sidewise.

7. Observe waveform on CRO or PC.

CONCLUSION:

Evoked potentials elicited by electrical stimulation of the oculomotor nerves and obtained

from the surface electrodes originate in the extraocular muscles. They do not derive from

the eye and thus EOG doesnot provide an appropriate representation.

EXPERIMENT NO.9

AIM: To measure blood pressure of a subject using automatic BPM.

APPARATUS REQUIRED: Automatic blood pressure machine.

THEORY:

A) DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SYSTOLIC AND DIASTOLIC BLOOD PRESSURE: Blood

pressure is always recorded as 2 numbers, such as 120/80, where the top number is

the systolic pressure and the bottom number is the diastolic pressure. Systolic

pressure is the pressure on the arteries as the heart contracts and pumps blood. The

diastolic pressure is the pressure in the arteries when the heart is at rest in between

heart beats.

B) HOW IS BLOOD PRESSURE MEASURED? When a pressure pad is wrapped around

a patient’s upper arm and inflated using hand pump, the brachial artery is occluded

(i.e. blood flow through the artery has been stopped).As the pressure pad is

gradually deflated, blood flow is re-established and accompanied by sounds of

“tapping” (thumping) that can be detected with a stethoscope held over the brachial

artery just below the pressure pad at the concavity.When the first sound of

“tapping” is heard, that signifies the systolic pressure and when the “tapping”

ceases, that signifies the diastolic pressure.

C) KOROTKOFF SOUNDS: Korotkoff sounds (or K-Sounds) are the “tapping” sounds

heard through a stethoscope as the cuff is gradually deflated. Traditionally, these

sounds have been classified into five different phases (K-1, K-2, K-3, K-4,K-5) and

are shown in the figure below:

I. Phase 1(K-1): The appearances of the clear “tapping” sounds as the cuff is

gradually deflated.The first clear “tapping sound is defined as the Systolic

Pressure.

II. Phase 2(K-2): The sounds in K-2 become softer and longer and are characterized

by a swishing sound since the blood flow in the artery increases.

III. Phase 3(K-3): The sounds become crisper and louder in K-3 which is similar to

the sounds heard in K-1.

IV. Phase 4(K-4): As the blood flow starts to become less turbulent in the artery, the

sounds in K-4 are muffled and softer.

V. Phase 5(K-5): In K-5,the sounds disappear completely since the blood flow

through the artery has returned to normal.The last audible sound is defined as

the diastolic pressure.

9. Hear the first sound of pulses ( i.e. Korotkcoff sound K-1) at that time press hold

button on DMM &Note down that reading as systolic pressure (systolic pressure for

normal person is 120 mmHg)

SYSTOLIC PRESSURE = ---------------------mmHg.
