With the continuous development of computer tools, that packagebecame obsolete and considerably limited in I/O channels and control capabilities, compared withthe options offered by the newly acquired National Instruments package [6], based on a DataAcquisition Card PCI-6025E and the Component Works™ software.

These concepts are meantto serve as building blocks not just for understanding more complex subjects of biomedicalengineering but also for further explorations in the field. Hence, by the time that students areready to take on Quantitative Physiology, they should be well equipped with the tools that theyneed, and QP serves as the instruction manual that demonstrates to students the morecomprehensive usage of these tools.
