Wireless remote optical monitoring system

A method, comprising:

• illuminating a test strip located in an optical analyzer body with a plurality of illumination elements located in the optical analyzer body;
• receiving illumination from the test strip in a plurality of sensors located in the optical analyzer body, wherein each sensor is associated with at least one illumination element;
• independently assessing, using a computer processor, a signal intensity of the illumination on each of the sensors receiving illumination from the test strip;
• interpolating, using the computer processor, the assessed signal intensities between the sensors receiving illumination from the test strip;
• selecting, using the computer processor, a sensor with a selected assessed signal intensity in comparison to the assessed signal intensities of its neighboring sensors;
• and
• determining, using the computer processor, a set of sensors in proper position above a test region on the test strip based on the interpolation of the assessed signal intensities and the selected sensor with the selected assessed signal intensity.

A non-transient computer-readable medium including instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, causes the one or more processors to perform a method, comprising:

• illuminating a test strip located in an optical analyzer body with a plurality of illumination elements located in the optical analyzer body;
• receiving illumination from the test strip in a plurality of sensors located in the optical analyzer body, wherein each sensor is associated with at least one illumination element;
• independently assessing a signal intensity of the illumination on each of the sensors receiving illumination from the test strip;
• interpolating the assessed signal intensities between the sensors receiving illumination from the test strip;
• selecting a sensor with a selected assessed signal intensity in comparison to the assessed signal intensities of its neighboring sensors;
• and
• determining a set of sensors in proper position above a test region on the test strip based on the interpolation of the assessed signal intensities and the selected sensor with the selected assessed signal intensity.
