SYSTEM AND METHOD OF COMPENSATING FOR DEVICE MOUNTING AND THERMAL TRANSFER ERRORS
First Claim
1. A method of compensating a temperature measurement of a thermal device in a user environment as a function of a thermal transfer of the thermal device in a temperature measurement system, the method comprising:
- inputting thermal transfer parameters associated with heat transfer characteristics of the thermal device;
measuring an output of the thermal device during the temperature measurement; and
compensating the measured thermal device output as a function of the thermal transfer function based on one of a plurality of predetermined specific thermal environments and one of a plurality of predetermined specific thermal errors associated with the thermal device.

Abstract
A method of compensating a temperature measurement of a thermal device in a user environment as a function of a thermal transfer of the thermal device in a temperature measurement system. The method includes inputting thermal transfer parameters associated with heat transfer characteristics of the thermal device stored by a thermal transfer indicia. The method further includes measuring a signal of the thermal device during the temperature measurement and compensating the measured thermal device signal as a function of the thermal transfer function based on one of a plurality of predetermined specific thermal environments and one of a plurality of predetermined specific thermal errors associated with the thermal device.
