METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR MEASURING ANALYTES
First Claim
1. ) A method comprising:
- measuring a waveform associated with a chemical event occurring on a sensor array, wherein the waveform comprises at least one region associated with expected measured values and at least one region associated with unpredictable measured values;
applying a first frame averaging to the at least one region associated with the expected measured values, wherein the first frame averaging comprises averaging a first number of frames during the at least one region associated with the expected measured values; and
applying a second frame averaging to the at least one region associated with the unpredictable measured values, wherein the second frame averaging comprises averaging a second number of frames during the at least one region associated with the unpredictable measured values, the second number of frames being lower than the first number of frames.

Abstract
A method is provided to sample a sensor array. The method can include measuring a waveform associated with a chemical event occurring on the sensor array. The waveform can include at least one region associated with expected measured values and at least one region associated with unpredictable measured values. The method can also include applying a first frame averaging to the at least one region associated with the expected measured values. Here, a first number of frames can be included in the first frame averaging. Further, the method can include applying a second frame averaging to the at least one region associated with the unpredictable measured values, where a second number of frames can be included in the second frame averaging. The second number of frames can be less than the first number of frames.
