A hand-held test meter for the determination of an analyte in a bodily fluid sample using an analytical test strip includes a microprocessor block (MB), a strip port connector (SPC), a voltage driver block (VDB) operatively connected to the MB and the SPC, a current measurement block (CMB) operatively connected to the SPC and the MB, and a memory block operatively coupled to the MB and storing integrated test strip detection and constant current driver instructions. Moreover, the memory block, MB, VDB and CMB are configured such that the integrated test strip detection and constant current driver instructions, when executed by the MB, algorithmically detects sample application to a test strip inserted in the SPC and algorithmically drives a constant current through the inserted strip by varying a voltage applied to the SPC by the VDB based on a signal from the CMB. |
