Abstract
This work describes a low cost system based on a personal microcomputer to analyze defibrillators. The system consists of three external modules to attenuate, filter and sample the defibrillator pulse. Software measures its delivered energy, peak voltage, peak current and pulse width. Example of measurement performed with the system is presented.
