Claim:
1. A method of determining an analyte concentration from a physiological sample with a biosensor having at least two electrodes and a reagent disposed on at least one electrode of the electrodes, the method comprising: depositing a physiological sample on any one of the at least two electrodes to start an analyte test sequence; applying a first signal to the sample to derive a physical characteristic of the sample; driving a second signal to the sample for a first sampling time duration that overlaps with the test sequence to obtain a first transient signal output from the sample, the first transient signal correlated to both time and magnitude during the first sampling time duration; extracting a specific sampling time during the test sequence in the first sampling time duration based on the physical characteristic of the sample, extracting the specific sampling time comprising calculating a defined specific sampling time in the first sampling time duration based on the physical characteristic of the sample; obtaining from the transient signal a second transient signal over a second sampling time duration, the second sampling time duration defined based on the specific sampling time; deriving respective magnitudes of the second transient signal at selected time intervals in the second sampling time duration; and determining an analyte concentration based on respective magnitudes of the second transient signal at the selected time intervals.
