AN INSTRUMENT WITH A MEMORY CARD UPDATING MEASUREMENT ALGORITHMS AND METHODS OF USING THE SAME

摘要

A programming strip is adapted to provide updated information to a processorof an instrument. The instrument is adapted to determine the concentration ofan analyte. The programming strip comprises non-volatile memory and acommunication bus. The non-volatile memory is adapted to store the updatedinformation and being adapted to be in communicatively coupled with theprocessor of the instrument. The communication bus has at least two lines thatare adapted to assist in communicatively coupling the memory and the processorof the instrument.
