1. A subsystem for warming-up a substance sensor within a sobriety testing system comprising:
- a memory storing a schedule for tests expected to be taken by a user; and
processing circuitry responsive to the stored schedule for activating a heater associated with the fuel cell sufficiently in advance of an upcoming expected test such that the fuel cell is at operating temperature when the upcoming expected test is requested by at the user.

Abstract
A subsystem for warming-up a substance sensor within a sobriety testing system includes a memory storing a schedule of times at which tests are expected to be taken by a user. Processing circuitry responsive to the stored schedule activates a heater associated with the substance sensor sufficiently in advance of an upcoming time on the schedule such that the substance sensor is at operating temperature when the corresponding test is requested by at the user.

9. A method of programming an automatic warm-up schedule within a memory of a sobriety testing system comprising:
-
receiving a request for a test by a user; recording a day and time for the request for a test; determining if sufficient data points representing requests for a test at about the same day and time have been previously recorded; and if sufficient data points representing requests for a test at about the same day and time have been previously recorded, programming the memory to include the day and time in the schedule for automatic warm-up of at least one sub-system within the sobriety testing system. - View Dependent Claims (10, 12, 13)

14. A method of programming an automatic warm-up schedule within a memory of a sobriety testing system comprising:
-
storing a warm-up schedule on a server; updating the warm-up schedule on the server; transferring an updated warm-up schedule from the server to the memory of the sobriety testing system. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
