Abstract

An automated system for evaluation of climatic chambers is presented. Besides automation, basic emphasis is given to the reliability of operation, flexibility and possibility of achieving minimal uncertainty for a given application. The system is developed to completely satisfy all standards and requirements concerning evaluation and/or calibration of climatic chambers. The system is portable so it can be used for on site measurements of climatic chambers as well as for the laboratory work. It can be used with thermocouples as well as with platinum resistance thermometers
