Improvement To The Data Logging Capability Of A Cough Monitoring System, Matthew Barlow Jan 2007

Improvement To The Data Logging Capability Of A Cough Monitoring System, Matthew Barlow

Inquiry: The University of Arkansas Undergraduate Research Journal

Data logging capability of a previously developed self contained cough recorder using an accelerometer as the sensing element is improved by using a secure digital memory card for later retrieval on a computer. Firmware is developed to enhance the functionality of the cough recorder. Existing libraries are modified for increased write rates. Increased writing speed allows 8-bit sampling at rates exceeding 8kHz, allowing for detailed time and frequency domain analysis. Additional features have also been developed to enable easy management of recordings, such as a file system compatibility with Microsoft Windows., and unique file names for each recording.
