1. An analyte meter, comprising:
- a housing comprising a display;
a sensor port coupled to the housing, wherein the sensor port receives a sensor to determine a concentration of an analyte in a fluid sample, and wherein the sensor port comprises a first electrode contact and a second electrode contact; and
a controller unit coupled to the housing, the controller unit processes a signal received from the sensor and determines the concentration of the analyte based on the signal;
wherein the analyte meter detects first and second different insertion orientations of the sensor upon first or second insertion of the sensor into the sensor port, and based on the insertion orientation, the analyte meter configures one of the first electrode contact or the second electrode contact as a reference and/or counter electrode contact.
