Abstract :
A new method of providing traceability for multifunction calibrators (sources used to calibrate digital multimeters) is described. The method requires a transportable digital multimeter that links a reference calibrator to the calibrator under test and an Internet connection to share test procedures, software, and data. Digital cameras and microphones at both ends enhance communication for troubleshooting and collaboration
