For years, I have been advocating and teaching the advantages of Object Oriented Programming (OOP) and why we, in the metrology industry, need to move away from script-based programming for automation. This often involves explaining […]
My last Automation Corner was about Model Driven Engineering, and this one is an example of how Model Driven Engineering makes software development easier and faster. Over the past 25 years of writing automated calibration […]
I am going to try and take a huge concept in software engineering and design, break it down into its core functions, then show how it applies to metrology software in less than 850 words. […]
There is a hidden cost in developing and supporting automated calibration procedures, that is the cost of supporting and updating the software after the initial development cost. The industry sets an average metric of 80%. […]
Recently, I was asked to explain Metrology.NET®, usually an easy task, so I thought. What is it that Metrology.NET does, without comparing it to a completely different software product. And, I was asked to explain […]
I have been developing automated calibration procedures for more than 20 years now, and if there is one thing I have learned is no two projects are the same! Metrology Software and its complexity can […]
Today, many of the units coming in for calibration don’t have a GPIB interface. All they have are a Universal Serial Bus (USB) or a TCP/IP Local Area Network (LAN) interface. When connected to the […]
I am sure most calibration technicians and lab managers have never heard of Low-Code and No-Code software development. To be honest, before a year ago neither had I, but now I think this is going […]
