The first CPU, which is low power type, is connected to the second CPU to execute the first process with a slow operation. The second CPU, which provides a computing ability stronger than the first CPU, executes the second process with a quick arithmetic operation. The first CPU outputs an interrupt to the second CPU to command the second CPU executing the second process. The second CPU outputs an interrupt to the first CPU to command the first CPU to transmit the cardiograph digital data to the second CPU.
