To design and develop a biological rhythm monitor and data analysis system for studying biological rhythm in animals under different conditions.
The system was a distributed digital control system consisting of a computer and zeitgeber generators. Acquisition of data on animal activity and generation of zeitgeber were modularized to meet the multiple requirements of experiment. System functions and animal adaptability to this system were detected by monitoring the rhythm of mouse activities under different light-dark cycles.
The animal experiment showed that the functions of this system, including data acquisition, data communication, light regulation and data analysis, were qualified for application. There was no apparent malfunction.
The system is safe, reliable and easy to operate. The system could be a very useful system to study biological rhythm in animals.
设计并开发一种用于研究不同条件下动物生物节律的生物节律监测与数据分析系统。
该系统是一个由计算机和授时因子发生器组成的分布式数字控制系统。将动物活动数据采集和授时因子生成进行模块化设计,以满足实验的多种需求。通过监测不同明暗周期下小鼠活动的节律,检测系统功能以及动物对该系统的适应性。
动物实验表明,该系统的数据采集、数据通信、光照调节和数据分析等功能均符合应用要求。未出现明显故障。
该系统安全、可靠且易于操作。该系统可能是研究动物生物节律的非常有用的系统。
