Abstract

A system and method for determining adverse conditions associated with a chemical indicator in an aquatic environment monitoring system in which reference illumination from an optical reader is used to illuminate a chemical indicator. Response from the reference illumination is used to determine a confidence value that can be part of an analysis associated with a measurement illumination response to produce a confidence adjustment instruction for possible action on the measured response value.
