Abstract
A system for measuring a property of a sample is provided. The system comprises a diagnostic measuring device having a memory and a diagnostic test strip for collecting the sample. The strip has embedded thereon a pattern representative of at least first data and second data, the first data being data representing at least one of parameters related to measuring the property, codes usable for calibration of the diagnostic measuring device, or parameters indicating proper connection between the measuring device and the test strip and the second data
Claims15
A method for minimizing the impact of potential errors that may occur when a device receives a code, the method comprising:
- reading a first code comprising a plurality of bits arranged in a physical arrangement;
- determining a probability of each bit to cause a read error;
- and
- constructing a logical arrangement of the bits different than the physical arrangement based on the probability, wherein the logical arrangement comprises the bits arranged such that the impact of potential read errors is minimized,
- wherein the first code represents at least one of parameters related to performing a diagnostic test by the device.
A method for minimizing the impact of potential errors that may occur when a device receives a code, the method comprising:
- reading a code comprising a plurality of bits arranged in a physical arrangement;
- comparing the code to a predetermined set of acceptable codes indicative of no error or acceptable level of error, wherein the predetermined set of acceptable codes is a set of potential codes reduced by excluding predetermined one or more codes having a probability of being misread by the device;
- and
- indicating an error if the code is not in the predetermined set of acceptable codes,
- wherein the code represents at least one of parameters related to performing a diagnostic test by the device.
