Data processing method for obtaining data indicating pulse period

摘要

A data processing method for obtaining data indicating the period between pulses comprises measuring the interval between the subject pulses, separately generating time pulses of a prescribed period, measuring the time between the most recent subject pulse and the most recent time pulse, outputting the interval between the subject pulses as the pulse period data if it is longer than the time between the most recent subject pulse and the most recent time pulse and otherwise outputting the latter time as the pulse period data. The data obtained in this way more precisely indicates the actual pulse period in cases where noise pulses occur between subject pulses.
