First Note to potential buyers: The device only on or off when you hold down / off more than three seconds the inputs. This is, however, also in the "Operating Instructions", but with that is such a thing!
The manual is a disaster. Sample sentences I bring not better here. That makes no sense. The device is manufactured in Beijing and I also know the differences between a visual or sign language and a language of letters. It would have been better to settle a (less bad) English manual here.
This little device is, however, self-explanatory, if you are not is a digital illiterate.
Good ECGs (see photo) is obtained only if you do the recording with three glued electrodes. (10 are included, more needs to be separately purchased) The decrease in 5 cm below the heart is still usable, while the manual measurement to assess is unusable.
Software I have not installed / tested. I've had enough of the presentation on the display.
Addendum 02 of 17 2015:
I have now but the software installed (Windows XP and Windows 7), which worked with no problems. This is a manual is embedded in English, which for the one who can speak English, a useful aid. Although here are also plentiful linguistic ERRORS, but that can get over. In terms of content, at least one ERRORS, but probably even more. But with this English-speaking guide, you can come to terms.
You should install the software because it offers some other useful applications, such. As clean printouts of 30-second ECGs on A4 with underlaid graph paper. The curve is easier to see than the display-playback on the device. Note: From the print command to the printing pass 60 to 90 seconds! So wait patiently.
I recommend that you deal with the software a bit. Then, after several attempts and many trying, even without manual cope reasonably.
The Notice of Karl-Heinz Witte is incorrect; transferring the stored ECG works smoothly and even rather quickly - at least for me. When selecting / clicking on the appropriate menu item in the software and device powered up and connected the data is retrieved, which also appears on the device display.
Overall, I think that you can not expect 160 to 180. This is not a professional tool, but quite useful.
