Abstract

A pulse counter is provided in which the value displayed for the detected value is highly reliable. An SN condition detecting means detects the SN condition of a pulse wave signal (step S201). The SN condition detecting means then determines whether or not the detected SN condition is good based on a specific threshold value (step S202). When a determination is made that the SN condition is good, a display control signal to display the pulse rate on a display means is output to a display method switching means (step S203). Conversely, when a determination is made in step S202 that the SN condition is not good, the pulse rate is not displayed on the display means, but rather a display control signal indicating that no information at all be displayed is output to the display method switching means (step S204).
