Abstract: The pulmonary testing software developed at the University

of Chicago's Biomedical Computation Facilities is designed to operate on

four (4) hardware configurations of the LAB-8/e system.

All tests are adapted for use with a pneumotachograph and the

appropriate gas analyzers required for each test. The software is designed

to automate the testing procedure and calculations of the following

measurements: lung volumes, flow rates, open circuit nitrogen washout

and single breath diffusing capacity. The DECtape oriented systems

enable the user to store patient data on DECtape for later recall.
