Viewing the sensor update history
A sensor update is a meter BG measurement that is entered to calibrate the system.
Your system automatically records manually entered meter BG measurements. You can review the last
28 sensor updates. The date, time and meter blood glucose measurement is recorded for every meter
BG measurement that is successfully used to calibrate the system. It takes approximately 20 minutes from
the time your meter BG measurement is entered and accepted until it shows in the SENSOR UPDATE
HISTORY screen.
To review the Sensor Update History:
1 Open the SENSOR UPDATE HISTORY screen.
Main Menu > Sensor > Sensor Update History
The SENSOR UPDATE HISTORY screen shows the recent meter BG measurements that were used to
calibrate the system.
2 The date and time of the calibration occurs 15 minutes after the meter BG measurement is entered.
3
Use the
and buttons to view the information on the screen. Your most recent sensor update is
displayed at the top of the list. If a calibration was not successful, it will not display in the SENSOR
UPDATE HISTORY screen.
