Abstract

The manufacturers specify the long term stability of their measuring standards. This parameter is sometimes the largest uncertainty contribution to the overall uncertainty of the standard. An automated system for the evaluation of the stability of measuring standards using Bayesian statistics was developed. For several standards it was verified that the stability estimate is much smaller than the value specified by the manufacturer. The software for data analysis was implemented in language C in the environment LabWindows/CVI.
