Ambient sensing feature for thermometer recalibration system

A recalibration system for initiating a recalibration procedure comprising:

• a thermometer, said thermometer including at least one sensor, said at least one sensor taking a plurality of ambient temperature readings from said thermometer;
• and
• a computer linked to said thermometer, said computer instructing said thermometer to transmit said plurality of ambient temperatures to said computer, wherein said computer determines whether an average corrected ambient temperature reading derived from said plurality of ambient temperatures is within a predetermined range of ambient temperatures, if said average corrected ambient temperature reading is within said predetermined range then said computer permits the recalibration procedure to proceed and if said average corrected ambient temperature reading is not within said predetermined range then said computer aborts the recalibration procedure.

A recalibration system for initiating a recalibration procedure comprising:

• a thermometer, said thermometer including at least two sensors, said at least two sensors each taking a plurality of ambient temperature readings from said thermometer;
• and
• a computer linked to said thermometer, said computer instructing said thermometer to transmit said plurality of ambient temperature readings from each of said at least two sensors to said computer, wherein said computer determines whether a one of said at least two sensors are reading a correct ambient temperature, if said one of said at least two sensors is reading a correct ambient temperature then said computer permits the recalibration procedure to proceed and if said one of said at least two sensors is not reading a correct ambient temperature then said computer aborts the recalibration procedure.

A method for initiating a recalibration procedure comprising:

• providing a thermometer, said thermometer including at least one sensor, said at least one sensor taking a plurality of ambient temperature readings from said thermometer;
• establishing a computer link between said thermometer and a computer;
• instructing said thermometer to transmit said plurality of ambient temperature readings to said computer, wherein said computer determines from said plurality of ambient temperature readings whether said thermometer is temperature stable, if said thermometer is temperature stable then said computer permits the recalibration procedure to proceed and if said thermometer is not temperature stable then said computer aborts the recalibration procedure.
