Problem Statement


Project
Plan
National Instruments would like an add-on board to
the myDAQ that will directly compete with the
BioPac at a 40x price margin
The board should provide the necessary connections
and LabView interface to allow for measurements
done in an introductory Biomedical Engineering
course at Iowa State University
Market Survey



BioPac currently sole competitor in market
Iowa State recently purchased BioPac kits for
introductory class
Our product would be a simple unique solution
Project

Design
Functional Requirements



Gain and filter signal from contact patches for EKG
and EMG to the myDAQ analog input
Provide user interface for sending, receiving, and
analyzing signals in LabView via myDAQ
Protect end user per IEC regulations
Design
Non-Functional Requirements




Simple plug and play hardware interface
Provide user friendly software interface in LabView
40x lower price than BioPac
Allow for cheap and reliable manufacture

Concept Sketch
Design
Filtering Methods



Initial design included numerous hardware
components
Removed amplifier and passive elements and
replaced with software filtering
Lowers cost of product
Design
EKG & EMG Safety



IEC compliant
Simple and effective
System is protected
from large voltage
spikes

Hardware


Built circuit with passive components to verify
System Design
Used external Oscilloscope to verify output
