An analyte test sensor strip is disclosed having information coded thereon as well as a method of forming the same and conducting an analyte test using the analyte test sensor strip. Information relating to an attribute of the strip or batch/lot of strips may be coded based on resistance values pertaining to electrical aspects of the strip, such as a primary resistive element and a secondary resistive element, the secondary resistive element having one of a plurality of states defined by a location of a closed tap to form a unique resistive path for the secondary resistive element that includes a portion of the primary resistive element depending on the location of the closed tap. The states may be formed on the strip by a secondary processing step in the manufacture of the strip in which a plurality of taps are severed leaving only one tap in a closed state. 本发明公开了种具有被编码在其上的信息的分析物测试传感器条，以及形成所述分析物测试传感器条和使用所述分析物测试传感器条来进行分析物测试的方法。与条或条的批次/批的属性有关的信息可以基于与条的电方面有关系的电阻值而被编码，所述条的电方面诸如初级电阻元件和次级电阻元件，所述次级电阻元件具有由闭合分接头的位置所
