Abstract :
This paper describes the design and implementation of a server for acquisition of physiological signals and digital messages from laboratory equipment. Its use in a heart catherization laboratory and the advantages of this distributed approach over a monolithic system are discussed. Modularity, hardware independence, adaptability and real-time capability are the most important features
