Abstract :
Precision calibration of industrial sensors and instruments are usually performed manually in the calibration laboratory. In this paper, a computer controlled automated solution with a software prototype controlling the whole calibration process is proposed. This solution minimizes the human involvement and therefore reduces the chances of errors. Data acquiring, processing and calculation are simplified by instruments communication through General Purpose Interface Bus (GPIB). The automation has been practically conducted by a laboratory and calibration efficiency has been improved.
