A method of automatically initializing an analyte sensor for a user is disclosed here. A first analyte sensor is operated in a first measurement mode to generate first sensor signals indicative of an analyte level of the user. A second analyte sensor is deployed to measure the analyte level of the user, and is operated in an initialization mode, concurrently with operation of the first analyte sensor in the first measurement mode, to receive sensor configuration data generated by the first analyte sensor. During operation of the second analyte sensor in the initialization mode, the second analyte sensor is calibrated with at least some of the received sensor configuration data. After the calibrating, operation of the second analyte sensor is transitioned from the initialization mode to a second measurement mode during which the second analyte sensor generates second sensor signals indicative of the analyte level of the user.

A scanning system for fluorescent imaging includes a sample holder configured to hold a sample therein, the sample holder defining a sample holding region. A scanner head spans the sample holding region and is movable relative to the sample holder. An array of light sources is disposed on an opposing side of the sample holder and is angled relative thereto. Respective controller are operably coupled to the scanner head and the array of light sources, wherein one controller selectively actuates a one or more rows of the array of light sources and another controller controls movement of the scanner head to capture fluorescent light emitted from within the sample holder in response to illumination from the actuated light sources. A filter designed to filter out scattered light from the sample may be interposed between the sample holder and the scanner head.
