Methods are disclosed for measuring an analyte concentration in a fluidic sample. Such methods allow one to correct and/or compensate for confounding variables such as temperature before providing an analyte concentration. The measurement methods use response information from a test sequence having at least one DC block, where the DC block includes at least one excitation pulse and at least one recovery pulse, and where a closed circuit condition of an electrode system is maintained during the at least one recovery pulse. Information encoded in the at least one recovery pulse is used to correct/compensate for temperature effects on the analyte concentration. Also disclosed are devices, apparatuses and systems incorporating the various measurement methods.
