Using Metrology.NET to Calculate ISO/IEC 17025 Uncertainties for Fluke MET/CAL
by Michael Schwartz Writing automated calibrations and controlling test equipment is easy. But once you have the automation working, now it’s time to calculate the uncertainties. Often calculating uncertainties and documenting the results takes longer […]
Thoughts on Database Design
I am most known in the industry for my abilities related to writing automated calibration procedures. I have created projects in VB, Lab View, MET/CAL®, MUDCATS, C#, C++, and RMB, just to name a few. […]
SOA/CMC Editor & Search Tools
Over the past four years, we at Cal Lab Solutions have been heads-down coding and designing new features for Metrology.NET®. Our goal has been to Make Metrology Better! The key members of our team are […]
A Standard Text File Format for the Exchange of Cal Data Required for Analysis
by Dr. Alex Lepek The purpose of this paper is to initiate standardization between calibration labs and users of the file for exchanging calibration data. Experience has it that to agree upon a file that […]
Creating a Metrology Taxonomy
by Michael Schwartz & David Zajac Metrology is the science of measurement. For thousands of years we have been creating newer and better ways of measuring things, but in all that time, metrology still lacks […]
Uncertainty Calculations That Excel!
The other day I read an article titled “Five easy steps for adding measurement uncertainties to your calibration data.” It described a very easy process of copying cells from one Microsoft Excel® file to another, […]
Calibration Lab Vectors of Vulnerability
by Marcus Vickers No, I am not talking about RF & Microwave calibration! In this context I am talking about the Vectors of Vulnerability through the calibration lab as it relates to Information Technology (IT) […]
