Abstract
A radio-telemetry system using a microcomputer has been constructed to measure both the heart-rate (HR) and right atrial blood-temperature in dogs. The telemeter incorporates a thermistor temperature probe, which allows blood-temperature measurements in the range of 35°-42°C with an available resolution of ±0·02°C. The output of the receiver is connected to active filters, a frequency counter and an HR meter, and finally to a microcomputer, through an appropriate interface circuit, for data linearization and storage.Keywords
