A design of Chinese pulse collection system based on the tactile array sensor is given.It makes up the disadvantage of traditional single-point pressure sensors such as hard to locate

lack of information and hard to duplicate.The aim of this design is to offer technical support to the objective research of Chinese pulse and traditional Chinese medicine（TCM）.The system includes the collector’s hardware and software design

the software on PC and the feature extraction method of the onset and main wave peak value point of the pulse condition based on slope threshold.The pulse condition waveform collected by system is stable.By comparison with the manual marked data

the error extracted by the algorithm of feature extraction is less than 0.02s.
