DESIGN STUDY OF SELF-CALIBRATING ELECTRICAL MEASUREMENT SYSTEM,
Abstract
A fully automated self-calibrating electrical measurement test set for field use is proposed. The key features of the system are: (1) a set of converters for reducing all measurements to quantities involving the basic three parameters (voltage, resistance and time); (2) direct electrical measurement capability, reducing the number of measurement devices in the field; (3) computational capability for the solution of measurement network equations and the performance of error analysis; (4) full automatic execution of stored program calibration procedures and measurement routines; (5) self-check philosophy to insure fidelity of the system at all times; (6) minimal standards package consisting of single standards of resistance, voltage and time. The standards package is replaceable on a periodic basis. The system is described on a technical basis after which a proposal for the fabrication of a prototype model is presented. (Author)
