Abstract

For the purpose of building a workstation to read and analyze data from hand-held, home use glucose monitor, a new high performance Digital Oscilloscope Peripheral (DOP) for PC is used to easy sample and store data, and it is described here. The new features of DOP are discussed and some application software packages for different purpose are described here in detail.

Since the sampled data from the hand-held, home use glucose monitor is irregular and in random form, the Least-Square Polynomial Modeling Method is used to produce a fit curve line, which best goes through most data points. Using the value of the line, we can analyze the patients' glucose contents.

Furthermore, a few programs are designed for printing data, calculating curve fit line, and plotting data points and curve fit line.
