1. A method of automatically measuring and recording a sample physical measurement value of a target sample using a probe device, the method comprising:

  • receiving, by the probe device, data that indicates a sample type of a target sample to be measured;

    accessing, by the probe device, data indicating a predetermined range of sample physical measurement values corresponding to the sample type;

    obtaining, by the probe device, an ambient measurement value within a predetermined range of ambient measurement values that is different from the predetermined range of sample physical measurement values, wherein the ambient measurement value indicates a measurement of an environment of the target sample at a location that is outside the target sample;

    after obtaining the ambient measurement value, detecting, by the probe device, a change in a measured property away from the ambient measurement value;

    after detecting a change in the measured property away from the ambient measurement value, determining, by the probe device, that a steady state measurement value for the measured property has been achieved within the predetermined range of sample physical measurement values;

    automatically recording, by the probe device, the steady state measurement value based on determining that the steady state measurement value for the measured property has been achieved within the predetermined range of sample physical measurement values; and

    automatically transmitting, by the probe device, the steady state measurement value to a server system over a network based on determining that the steady state measurement value has been achieved within the predetermined range of sample physical measurement values.
