Abstract: In a process for continuous measurement of blood pressure, the mean blood essure is derived from the measured pulse wave duration. The other blood pressure parameters are obtained by combination with an optoelectrical determination of blood volume density in a typical manner at the ear lobes. An initial individual basic calibration of the blood pressure values is carried out by a conventional method. In addition, a continuous automatic optoelectronic post-calibration is carried out. The measuring sensors are preferably a pair of ear clips and ECG electrodes or a photoelectric sensor. The method can be used to particular advantage in prevention and diagnosis.

Abstract: A logic analyzer for measuring logic signals which are delivered by a number of targets and which are not correlated in time. To incorporate the actual time features and relationships between the data signals of various targets the logic analyzer has at least one acquisition module which can be connected to an associated target or data source. The acquisition modules have various circuit arrangements which choose between the system's internal constant-frequency, or the external target generated, clock signal for a sampling signal, and then samples and synchronizes the time uncorrelated data signals. The data signals are then compared with predetermined patterns and coincidence is indicated.
