Theory of Operation
There are four main components of the PhysioTel Digital telemetry system; the data acquisition
computer, the Communication Link Controller (CLC), the transceivers (TRX), and the smart implants.
The CLC and the implants are the components that are actively communicating with one another; the
TRX is the transmitting\receiving link between them. Using a hardware configuration wizard in the data
acquisition software, the user chooses a set of implants and assigns them to a particular CLC; up to four
implants can be assigned to one CLC. Each CLC operates on a separate communication frequency.
During the configuration process the CLC instructs the implants to “Join” its unique frequency. Once
joined, the implants are ready to collect physiologic data and transmit it back to the data acquisition
computer.
