Abstract: certified by the PML Reference Standards Laboratory. The development by the Rocky Flats Standards Laboratory of a procedure for the calibration and certification of a Fluke Model 51018 calibration system is discussed. A Hewlett-Packard (HP) Model 9845B desktop computer was used to generate programs producing calibration cassette tapes for the 5101B system for 14 types of digital and analog multimeters. The system not only reduced the calibration and certification time by 75 percent but also eliminated manual calibrations and calculations. A printed copy from the system yields the calibration results for each test point, indicating, as a percentage of reading, both the acceptable tolerance limits and actual error with an indicated FAIL for any test point exceeding the predetermined acceptable limits. All multimeters of the same type are calibrated at identical test points. No major difficulties have been encountered during the year the system has been in use.
