Abstract
Systems and methods for automated self-compensation are described herein. Accordingly, some embodiments of a method may include measuring a signal from an electrochemical sensor device, where the signal relates to the presence of a predetermined gas, and where the electrochemical sensor device includes a potentiostat, measuring an internal property of the electrochemical sensor device by electronically pinging the potentiostat, and receiving a response from the potentiostat. In some embodiments, the method may include interpreting the response through an associative relationship between the electrochemical sensor device and a data acquisition and calculation module, determining an effect of an environmental factor from the response, compensating for effects of the environmental factor by adjusting the signal from the electrochemical sensor device and outputting the adjusted signal.
