20. A method of operating an analyte monitoring system comprising:
-
providing a signal associated with initiation of an analyte sensor; providing a count from an incrementing counter; storing the count temporally associated with the initiation of the sensor signal in a memory device; and incrementing the count by a periodic cycle of analyte level measurement; and determining elapsed or remaining time of the analyte sensor by comparing the stored count with the incremented count. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25, 26, 27, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33)
