Combined method of metrological self-tracking of measurement data processing programs

  • General Problems of Metrology and Measurement Technique
  • Published:
Measurement Techniques Aims and scope

Results from a study of a combined method for metrological self-tracking of software for processing direct measurement data are discussed. Two programs are considered as examples: one that carries out extremely simple calculations and another taken from the standard software for an actual measurement data system. These results can be used to evaluate the prospects for using the combined method in metrological practice.
