Abstract

This paper describes an early development of software for automatic measurement of the multifunction calibrator using direct measurement method with the reference multimeter. The software is developed to control the multifunction calibrator and the reference multimeter using GPIB interface. The developed software can do single point measurement and multi points measurement by configuring the instruments automatically. For the security reasons against the instruments, it is equipped with a pop-up alert to indicate that a connection change is required before the measurement begin, because the multifunction calibrator commonly has three electrical measuring quantities (voltage, current, and resistance) that have different connection for each of the quantity. The measurements can be made with some repeatability to reduce the type A uncertainty and the measurement results then tabulated as raw data. The results can be saved as a certificate of calibration automatically from the template in which the correction and the expanded uncertainty are calculated. Therefore, the accurate and precision measurements for calibrating and testing the electrical equipment can be performed with easy, safe and fast.
