Nowadays in metrology, almost every measuring system involves computation. How can we be sure that the software performing these computations is giving the correct results? Poorly performing software can compromise traceability of measurement and, in a quality assurance/industrial inspection setting, put product quality at risk. But what can we do to check if metrology software is fit for purpose?
This workshop presents the outputs of a European Metrology Research Programme (EMRP) project Traceability for computationally-intensive metrology (TraCIM) that has developed a new approach for assessing the performance and fitness for purpose of metrology software and established an online software certification service.
The TraCIM project outputs are applicable across a wide range of metrology domains but have been most extensively developed for the length domain through the involvement of industrial project partners Hexagon, Mitutoyo, Werth and Zeiss.
The workshop is intended for developers and users of metrology software, quality professionals and engineers in industry, calibration laboratories and national measurement institutes.
A training course on how instrument software can be interfaced with the TraCIM system to provide the online certification of metrology software will be held on the following day, 28th May 2015, at the National Physical Laboratory. This course is aimed mainly at software engineers. For more information about the course, visit www.npl.co.uk/events.
