Apparatus for maintaining signals within a given amplitude range

摘要

Displayed ECG waveforms are maintained within acceptable aspect ratios without rapid fluctuation in amplitude by rapidly decreasing the gain of the signal channel by discrete amounts as the peak-to-peak amplitude of the ECG signal increases through each of a number of levels and by increasing the gain of the signal channel only after the peak-to-peak amplitude of the ECG signals has dropped to a given fraction for a predetermined period of time.
