Systems and apparatuses for testing blood glucose measurement engines
First Claim
1. A system for testing a blood glucose measurement engine which performs a glucose measurement process that provides data signals in response to receiving control signals and diagnostic signals, said system comprising:
- a host device emulator comprising a measurement engine port communicatively coupled to a communications port and electrically coupled to a power supply; and
a diagnostic computer communicatively coupled to the communications port of the host device emulator, the diagnostic computer comprising a processor and a memory having computer readable and executable instructions, and provides the control signals and the diagnostic signals to the blood glucose measurement engine, wherein;
when the blood glucose measurement engine is communicatively coupled to the measurement engine port, the host device emulator simulates a connection to a host device by facilitating communication of the data signals, the control signals and the diagnostic signals between the diagnostic computer and the blood glucose measurement engine, andthe processor executes the computer readable and executable instructions to;
transmit the control signals and the diagnostic signals from the diagnostic computer to the blood glucose measurement engine,receive and analyze the data signals transmitted from the blood glucose measurement engine,step the blood glucose measurement engine through the glucose measurement process,monitor a glucose measurement process performed by the blood glucose measurement engine, andpause the blood glucose measurement engine after an instruction of the glucose measurement process has been performed.

Abstract
A system for testing a blood glucose measurement engine includes a host device emulator having a measurement engine port communicatively coupled to a communications port and electrically coupled to a power supply. A diagnostic computer may be communicatively coupled to the communications port of the host device emulator. The diagnostic computer may include a processor and a memory having computer readable and executable instructions. When the blood glucose measurement engine is communicatively coupled to the measurement engine port, the host device emulator simulates connection to a host device by facilitating the communication of signals between the diagnostic computer and the blood glucose measurement engine. The processor executes the computer readable and executable instructions to: transmit control signals and diagnostic signals to the measurement engine, receive and analyze data signals transmitted from the measurement engine, and monitor a glucose measurement process performed by the measurement engine.
