A microcomputer-based system was developed to measure flow-volume curve parameters, record respiratory questionnaire data and analyse the collected data. The hardware of the system consists of two parts which operate independently and are linked together for data transfer. The first part is a microprocessor-based unit to accurately measure flow-volume curve parameters. The second part is a microcomputer unit used to receive flow-volume curve parameters from the first part, to record responses to questionnaires stored in the unit and to perform all statistical analysis. The software included a monitor program controlling system operations, a data base and a powerful statistical package. Two sets of questionnaires are stored in the system, one for adults and the other for children. The user is only required to enter to the system answers to questions displayed on the screen. Flow-volume data can be entered via the keyboard of the microcomputer unit or transmitted from the flow-volume test unit. The developed system is compact, easy to operate and moderately priced.
开发了一种基于微型计算机的系统，用于测量流量-容积曲线参数、记录呼吸问卷数据并分析所收集的数据。该系统的硬件由两部分组成，这两部分独立运行，并连接在一起进行数据传输。第一部分是基于微处理器的单元，用于精确测量流量-容积曲线参数。第二部分是微型计算机单元，用于从第一部分接收流量-容积曲线参数，记录对存储在该单元中的问卷的回答，并进行所有统计分析。该软件包括控制系 统操作的监控程序、一个数据库和一个强大的统计软件包。系统中存储了两套问卷，一套针对成年人，另一套针对儿童。用户只需在系统中输入屏幕上显示问题的答案。流量-容积数据可以通过微型计算机单元的键盘输入，也可以从流量-容积测试单元传输过来。所开发的系统结构紧凑、易于操作且价格适中。
