An Automatic Calibration System for Multimeter Based on Fluke MET/CAL

Abstract

The calibration process of a digital Multi-meter (DMM) is complicated and tedious. The whole procedure needs to calibrate dozens of test points of several measuring ranges. Usually, the automatic calibration system is used to replace the manual operation. In metrology, the MAT/CAL which is a software produced by Fluke company has been widely used, but it can’t meet our special needs. This article is mainly on the introduction of design method of an automatic calibration system for DMM basing on Fluke MAT/CAL. It describes the setup of hardware, the improvement of ACC file in MAT/CAL and the basic principle of our software.
