Cubit Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Does anyone know if there is a multimeter I can get that can be caliberated using software on a pc? And how will you calibrate your PC?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justin Posted October 21, 2008 Author Share Posted October 21, 2008 And how will you calibrate your PC?? It's just something I have overheard. Cause I see your point though. Think I might have misunderstood something at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james.wilson Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 you would still need a calibrated meter to check the outputs first. This is one of those silver/gold issues. Golds have to have meters calibrated, ssaib and silver can 'demonstate accuracy' one for angus i think but IMO only way you can do that is with a acalibrated meter. You can just have one calibrated and have a rig like above and calibrate the rest to the one master meter though securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.

We are silver and have to have calibrated instruments.... he Gold bit just means you have ISO 9000 Quality Management as well...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james.wilson Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 sorry esp What i was meaning is the wording between silver and gold is different. Im sure i have had this discussion before as if i recall the ssaib say that you dont need to calibrate. Silver 'have to demonstrate accuracy' and gold have to calibrate each meter. Now how you can demonstrate accuracy without calibrating i have no idea. securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.

SUBS Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 sorry espWhat i was meaning is the wording between silver and gold is different. Im sure i have had this discussion before as if i recall the ssaib say that you dont need to calibrate. Silver 'have to demonstrate accuracy' and gold have to calibrate each meter. Now how you can demonstrate accuracy without calibrating i have no idea. Surely if you connect both a known accurate calibrated meter and the one you want to prove to the same potential, such as a variable PSU / resistor etc. and they both read the same at a number of voltages, in all ranges. Do it weekly, monthly or whatever, using the same calibrated meter, record it in a book, you have demonstrated accuracy. NACOSS were happy with that a few years ago when we did it.
