Measuring Heart Rates

The Heart Rate sensor sensing clip (pleth) holds an infrared LED that shines a light through either a finger or ear lobe onto a light sensitive detector. As the amount of light transmitted varies with the flow of blood, the sensor can record either blood flow (heart waveform), or heart rate (beats per minute).
