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??

It's just something I have overheard. Cause I see your point though. Think I might have misunderstood something at the time.

be good if it was possible though!

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

Why is it a "Silver /Gold issue" ?

We are silver and have to have calibrated instruments....

he Gold bit just means you have ISO 9000 Quality Management as well......

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.

As C posted, depends how many meters...

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.
