More Information
Summary:A transcutaneous nerve stimulation device is provided with an ordinary controller for both output pulse generation and treatment parameter display. The controller, which consists of a programmed microprocessor, is connected by signal lines to both the pulse output circuitry and the display, which are controlled by time-sharing the signal lines. The controller responds to the operator's entry of the input signals for the calculation of output pulse characteristics and display parameters. During most of the treatment time, signals on the signal lines are provided by the controller for display control. The display signals are interrupted during the timing intervals which output signals are generated.
