1. An intelligent biosensing meter comprising:a parameter storing unit comprising a plurality of parameters that a sample strip detection needed;
at least one slot for receiving a sample strip comprising a reaction well and a plurality of electrodes thereon in contact with the reaction well or a code card stored at least one parameter therein that is not included in the parameter storing unit;
wherein the sample strip has a short circuit formed between two selected electrodes thereof for switching on the biosensing meter;
at least one button for choosing different parameters stored in the parameter storing unit without the code card inserting into the slot;
a memory unit for storing results or parameters stored in the code card; and
a microprocessor for reading the parameters from the parameter storing unit or the memory unit for controlling operational procedures to measure an analyte in an analyte-containing fluid drawn into the reaction well of the sample strip and determining a measurement value of the analyte.
