Abstract

The present invention relates to a computer program product or code in memory for detecting and transmitting sensory data from a portable field device 10 to a processor 12 via a computer network 10 for analytic purposes. The product includes a code directed to capturing analyte data pertaining to an unknown analyte using a field device 10. The product further includes a code directed to encoding the captured analyte data and transmitting the encoded analyte data via a computer network 18 to a processor 12 for analysis. The product also includes a code directed to performing an analysis of the captured analyte data at a remote location by the processor 12 using data of known analytes retrieved from an electronic library 14. This code and others can be used with the present invention to perform the functionality described herein as well as others.

Claims

1. A system comprising memory including a computer code product for detecting and transferring data pertaining to an analyte from a first device to a second device, said memory comprising:

a code directed to capturing analyte data pertaining to said analyte using said first device; and

a code directed to transmitting said analyte data via a computer network to said second device.
