MRATE is a Pascal program designed for on-line calculation of metabolic rate in an open circuit system, when outlet gases are not dried. Voltages from O2 and CO2 analysers, humidity and temperature probes and mass flow meter are digitised and used to calculate outlet flow, oxygen consumption, carbon dioxide production, respiratory quotient and metabolic rate. The program may be easily modified to suit a variety of experimental set-ups.
MRATE是一个用Pascal语言编写的程序，用于在开路系统中（当出口气体未干燥时）在线计算代谢率。来自氧气和二氧化碳分析仪、湿度和温度探头以及质量流量计的电压被数字化，并用于计算出口流量、氧气消耗量、二氧化碳产生量、呼吸商和代谢率。该程序可以很容易地修改以适应各种实验设置。
