1. A method of linking a time record for each physiological measurement in a physiological measurement system having a physiological meter with a microprocessor linked to a clock, memory, display, and configured such that the meter is without any user input interface for a user to set temporal parameters including time for the physiological meter, the method comprising the steps of:
determining whether the clock has been reset, and if true, evaluating whether a clock reset flag has been set; if the evaluating step is false then setting a clock reset flag and setting the clock to its initial factory parameters, otherwise if the evaluating step is true then disqualifying any physiological measurement record having a delta-time flag associated with the record; if the determining step is false then querying as to whether a physiological measurement has been made; if the querying is true, ascertaining as to whether a clock reset flag has been set; if the querying is false then storing the physiological measurement linked to a record of a current temporal parameter of the clock otherwise if the querying is true then storing the physiological measurement with both a delta-time flag and a current temporal parameter of the clock; verifying whether a clock reset flag is set and if the clock reset flag is not set, displaying clock time on the display of the meter otherwise if the clock reset flag is set, prohibiting a display of the clock time on the display of the meter when the physiological measurement record is being reviewed. |
