Sensor calibration
First Claim
1. A method of calibrating a sensor system comprising a plurality of disposable sensors and a computer device, both the sensors and the computer device having circuitry for facilitating the transmission of data between them via a wireless communication link, the method comprising:
- (a) using a first disposable sensor to monitor a parameter including sending data from the first disposable sensor to said computer device;
(b) storing a final value of a monitored parameter obtained using said first disposable sensor, or some other value derivable from said final value, in a memory of the computer device, and disposing of said first disposable sensor;
(c) installing a new disposable sensor including calibrating the sensor system for said new disposable sensor using said final value or said other value and repeating steps a) and b) for the new disposable sensor; and
d) repeating step c) for each further new disposable sensor.

Abstract
A method of calibrating a sensor system comprising a disposable sensor and a computer device, both the sensor and the computer device having circuitry for facilitating the transmission of data between them via a wireless communication link. The method comprises storing a final value of a monitored parameter obtained using a first disposable sensor, or some other value derivable from said final value, in a memory of the computer device, and calibrating the system for a new disposable sensor using said final value or said other value.

13. A sensor system comprising:
-
a plurality of disposable sensors, at least a portion of each sensor being arranged in use to come into contact with a substance; and a computer device, both the sensor and the computer device having circuitry for facilitating the transmission of data between them via a wireless communication link, the computer device further comprising a memory for storing a final value of a parameter being monitored, or some other value derivable from said final value, for a first disposable sensor, and processing means for using said final or other value to calibrate a second disposable sensor, wherein the computer device is arranged to repeat this procedure for each subsequent disposable sensor using the final value or other value monitored for the previous disposable sensor. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16)
