Section 1: Introduction
Induction/Analysis Module
The battery-operated electronic induction/analysis module controls the Nanoduct
system. The module performs six separate functions:
1. Provides a timed and controlled current for iontophoretic sweat stimulation.
2. Measures electrical conductivity of the excreted sweat during the analysis
phase.
3. Automatically averages the conductivity reading over a defined 5-minute
period.
4. Automatically computes the initial sweat rate.
5. Displays the above information on the LCD readout and reports sweat test
and calibration results to the serial port.
6. Provides a time and date display for calibration and test results.
