Abstract: A system consisting of an 8-bit word microcomputer of the APPLE line equipped with an analog-to-digital converter, connected to a physiograph measuring pressures from a whole body plethysmograph, was used to perform pulmonary tests in rats. The system proved to be time-saving without loss of accuracy when compared to manual calculation methods. It allows measurement repetition during the same experiment, which is impossible by manual techniques, and permits to obtain flow/volume relationships without pneumotachographs or integrator and/or differentiator modules. This approach may be applied to humans and used by any physician
