SOFTWARE VALIDATION OF SERIAL LINE COMMUNICATION

Roman Flegar, Tanasko Tasic

Abstract

The software validation of measuring instruments is a complex procedure, which can be divided into the validation of separate software functions. The paper deals with the software validation of functions for serial line communication. It describes methods for preparation and validation. Methods are based on demands and facts, which are important for measuring instruments under legal control. They were developed during type approval process of an automated liquid level measuring instrument, but they can be easily adopted and used with other measuring instruments or communication interfaces. At the end of validation procedure, results of methods are gathered together and evaluated.
