Abstract
A method calibrates a sensor for a defined parameter using a calibration station adapted to receive the sensor while it is secured to a wearable device. The calibration station includes a device to close the space surrounding the sensor to control the space. A quantity of an element being measured/calibrated is injected into the space. The quantity of the element is then measured by the sensor. A measured signal is transmitted to the calibration station. The measured signal is compared to a predetermined level. The method identifies when the measured signal differs from the predetermined level by a threshold amount and indicates or adjusts the sensor, depending on the application.
