Analytical meter with display-based tutorial module

An analytical meter for determining an analyte (e.g., glucose) in a bodily fluid sample (for example a whole blood sample) includes a display-based tutorial module. In addition, the display-based tutorial module includes a user interface (with a visual display), a memory unit and a microprocessor unit. The memory unit is configured for storing a tutorial, with the tutorial having a plurality of chapters, each containing one or more tutorial images depicting use of the analytical meter. The microprocessor is unit configured for controlling and coordinating at least the user interface and the memory unit. Moreover, the user interface, microprocessor unit and memory unit are operatively linked and configured for event-driven chapter-based display of the tutorial images to a user on the visual display.
