Claims

1-18. -18. (canceled)

19. A computer-implemented method for determining a compatibility of one or more devices in an analyte monitoring system, comprising:

receiving, by a second device of the analyte monitoring system, configuration data related to a configuration of a first device of the analyte monitoring system, wherein a plurality of software functions are stored on the second device;

determining, using one or more processors of the second device, whether the configuration of the first device is compatible with the second device by comparing the received configuration data with one or more identification codes; and

if the configuration of the first device is compatible with the second device, then determining, using the one or more processors of the second device, a compatible software function from the plurality of software functions stored in the second device, wherein the compatible software function processes monitored analyte data obtained by the first device.

20. The computer-implemented method of claim 19, further comprising alerting a user if it is determined that the configuration of the first device is not compatible with the second device.

21. The computer-implemented method of claim 19, further comprising:

receiving, by the second device, monitored analyte data obtained by the first device; and

processing, using the one or more processors of the second device, the received monitored analyte data with the compatible software function.

22. The computer-implemented method of claim 21, further comprising:

displaying the processed analyte data to the user at the second device.

23. The computer-implemented method of claim 19, wherein the configuration data includes at least one key code.

24. The computer-implemented method of claim 19, wherein the configuration data includes at least one of a radio-identification code and a resistive code.

25. The computer-implemented method of claim 19, wherein the configuration data includes information related to a range of acceptable sensitivities of the first device and wherein the configuration data allows a glucose calculation.

26. The computer-implemented method of claim 19, wherein the configuration data includes information related to a version of the first device.

27. The computer-implemented method of claim 19, wherein the first device includes an analyte sensor positioned in the body of a user to monitor analyte levels of the user.

28. The computer-implemented method of claim 19, further comprising:

determining, using the one or more processors of the second device, whether the configuration of the first device is compatible with the second device by comparing the received configuration data with one or more identification codes in a predetermined list stored in the second device.

29. An analyte monitoring system adapted to determine a compatibility of a first device adapted to obtain monitored data, the analyte monitoring system comprising:

a second device having a plurality of software functions stored thereon, the second device comprising;

a wireless receiver adapted to receive configuration data related to a configuration of a first device;

one or more processors; and

non-transitory memory comprising software stored thereon that, when executed by the one or more processors, causes the one or more processors to;

determine whether the configuration of the first device is compatible with the second device by comparing the received configuration data with one or more identification codes; and

if the configuration of the first device is compatible with the second device, then determine a compatible software function from the plurality of software functions stored in the second device, wherein the compatible software function processes monitored analyte data obtained by the first device.

30. The analyte monitoring system of claim 29, wherein the non-transitory memory comprises software stored thereon that, when executed by the one or more processors, causes the one or more processors to:

cause an alert to be output to a user if it is determined that the configuration of the first device is not compatible with the second device.

31. The analyte monitoring system of claim 29, wherein the wireless receiver is adapted to receive monitored analyte data obtained by the first device and wherein the non-transitory memory comprises software stored thereon that, when executed by the one or more processors, causes the one or more processors to:

process the received monitored analyte data obtained by the first device with the compatible software function.

33. The analyte monitoring system of claim 29, wherein the configuration data includes at least one key code.

34. The analyte monitoring system of claim 29, wherein the configuration data includes at least one of a radio-identification code and a resistive code.

35. The analyte monitoring system of claim 29, wherein the configuration data includes information related to a range of acceptable sensitivities of the first device.

36. The analyte monitoring system of claim 29, wherein the configuration data includes information related to a version of the first device.

37. The analyte monitoring system of claim 29, further comprising the first device, wherein the first device includes an analyte sensor adapted to be positioned in the body of a user to monitor analyte levels of the user.

38. The analyte monitoring system of claim 29, wherein the non-transitory memory comprises software stored thereon that, when executed by the one or more processors, causes the one or more processors to:

determine whether the configuration of the first device is compatible with the second device by a comparison of the received configuration data with one or more identification codes in a predetermined list stored in the second device.

32. The analyte monitoring system of claim 32, wherein the second device further comprises a display adapted to display the processed analyte data to the user.
